Stuck on Confusion Ending - Fifth Restart
So the Confusion Ending Schedule says that the Narrator forgets and the game restarts by itself. How is it supposed to restart? I've tried 3 times now, first time I waited 10 minutes in my office and nothing happened. Second time I hit ESC and restarted. Third time I just continued to story but nothing happened. What am I supposed to do?

The idea is that the Narrator did not restart the game thus braking the cycle, I don't think the other restarts happen.

I'm fairly certain I keep breaking the Confusion Ending cycle, because I end up in the same Schedule Room every time. After I get to that room I just go for play the story normally but I just get the different endings...

eventually you get to a room listing 8 or more restarts with all differences in them

That's the room I think iTiamo is getting to, I don't know if there is anything past it as you only follow up to about the 5th restart.

In one runthrough immediately after the confusion schedule I spotted the Line through a window (can't remember which exactly, but it was after turning right at the two doors and possibly after the lounge), but I don't think there was any way to get at it. Later plays of the game did not feature the Line.

Some events are random, such as: the phone ringing in the first office or the floor being covered in papers.

After the restart in the Confusing Ending description room you shouldn't be able to complete the story but I did. The board says that after the fifth restart you can't follow the story and then it should restart again, how does it work?

5th restart is the last one there isn't another one. Check the narrator sound files.

Oh, so no 8 room in the confusing ending.

I think this should be bumped for discussion here, considering this from the AMA:

Did you thought about to acually completely programm the Confusion Ending as it was written on the wall? When yes, why you didn't do it?

They can hide almost anything in this game, dude. They hid entire maps within their files (Go look: You can't find the Baby Game, The Heaven area, or the Cheating Room). I would not put it past them to have hidden the rest of the confusion ending.

Plus, it doesn't help that this was said on the Reddit AMA:

There might be more to it? I knew it!

This is actually reachable in the game, an easter egg but there is a sequence to it.
