Overview
The first time you use (right-click) a Cutscene Block, a scene from the rotating pool plays and a bead is added to your rosary. Watched scenes are filtered out of the pool, so each successful pickup shrinks what is left to see. After 13 beads, the next use flips into the ending arc and drops you into the YHVH dimension.
Challenge slots also live in the same pool, but they skip the cinematic entirely — they get their own page at Challenges.
Opening
Plays once at the start of a fresh qualia, before the player has any beads. After this, the pool takes over. It is a video of Maria handing the player the rosary from her abdomen.
Opening sequence that plays when a new qualia starts.
The bead pool
7 regular scenes rotate from the cutscene block. Each one awards a bead the first time it plays. Bee hands the player a glider glove at the end of its video. Alma picks one of two endings depending on your current hate.
Plays when the player's Hate is below 15: the penultimate frame fades out gently before the cut to black.

why did you wake me up?
every second that i sleep, my mind erodes a little more.
my qualia mocks me.
can't you see it?
it's all i've ever wanted.
do me a favor.
i want my mind torn into a million pieces.
snip snip! turn me into confetti!
Plays when the player's Hate is 15 or higher. A more violent ending: after the 8 shared lines it adds a final ... line, then a slice animation cuts straight to black (the below-15 version just fades out gently instead).
Hands the player a glider glove when the video finishes.

Even the dust-born creatures overflow with tiamana.
Countless sparks of consciousness in a sea of chaos...
coalescing into one at the end of space and time.
Where the seven suns would burn away the self...
were it not for the firmament.

He fashioned this for thee.
A paradise unending, for thou art but fleeting vermin.
And still thou treadest upon holy ground?
...
Go on, then.
Thy trespasses shall be thine undoing.
Bead pickup
Plays every time a new bead lands in the rosary. A short flight through a Mandelbox fractal with a glowing bead at the center. The bead color is randomized from 5 colors (4 pastels plus white) on each pickup.
The empty well
After every regular scene has been watched, the pool stops handing out beads. The cutscene block now serves Void as a fallback. It also plays once you win the YHVH ending — beating the boss shuts the route down, and every use for the rest of that save lands here. (Losing YHVH does not; the ending can be served again.)
The default fallback cutscene when no other unwatched scene is selected.

0% completeThe Q-name is picked at random from a 994-word bank; the hex dump is 64 fresh 8-digit values, regenerated every play. The progress counter ticks randomly from 0% to 99% over about a minute, then jumps to 100% before the screen blacks out.
Death
Plays when the player dies in the ordinary world (Naraka); deaths inside a Challenge or the YHVH ending route run their own flow instead. A fall through a Mandelbulb before the death menu takes over. Skippable with the back button.
The 13th bead
Once all 13 beads are in, the next cutscene block flips into the ending arc. Pre-Ending plays before the YHVH teleport, the Ending slot drops you straight into the boss fight with no cinematic of its own, and Post-Ending closes the route after a win. Lose YHVH and the run respawns in Naraka with all beads intact, free to retry; win once and the route shuts off for that qualia.
Special sequence that plays immediately before the player is teleported into the YHVH ending route. It shows Maria.
Special ending hand-off that initializes the YHVH boss route after all beads are collected.
No cinematic plays here — the slot just teleports you straight into the YHVH boss fight.
Final post-boss epilogue sequence with the closing spoken lines and credits.

Maria:
The path unto oblivion is unbarred.
When thou art ready...
wilt thou not walk with me?
Cut from the project
4 scenes exist in the project files but no gameplay code hooks them up. They cannot be served through normal play. 3 have real visuals, 1 is a static shader with no script attached.
