Info about Trust Me, I Nailed It:

Official game description:
The world wasn’t saved by the hero’s blade, but by the editor’s mouse cursor.
You are a dedicated video editor tasked with manipulating battle footage of a hopeless warrior who can’t clear a dungeon. Hired by a warrior with no skill but endless ego, you must produce flashy “clear videos” that make it look like a flawless victory.
Analyze pre-battle intel that reveals enemy attack patterns, then place the warrior’s limited action clips on a timeline to write a scenario where victory is inevitable.
Satisfy both the cheering townsfolk and the dopamine-addicted Demon Lord, complete a fake heroic legend in seven days, and save the world.
**Design the Win Before the Battle Begins**
-------------------------------------------
In the video editor, enemy attack patterns and disruptive actions are provided as pre-recorded footage.
Before the battle begins, players preview the timeline to identify exactly when attacks will occur and plan their countermeasures accordingly.
**Clip Editing**
----------------
Design the warrior's movements by placing 「Move」,「Melee Attack」,「Ranged Attack」, and 「Block」 clips onto an 8-tick timeline.
**Visual Effects (VFX)**
------------------------
The highlight of editing is post-processing! Instantly transform a simple walk into a Teleport, or turn a weak jab into a Critical Hit to overwhelm your enemies.
Running low on memory? Don’t worry! Meet optimization goals such as "Fill All Timeline Slots," "Land 2+ Effective Hits," or "No Damage Taken" to increase your available memory capacity.
**A Story Told Through FAKE Clear Videos**
------------------------------------------
Enjoy the stark contrast between the warrior’s shameless request emails and the hero-worshipping news that pops up on your desktop.
In reality, the so-called hero is always running away—but turning them into the savior of the world through a nerve-wracking con is entirely up to you.
