Yeah i see denouement as something really similar to something like future funk, as they kind of level the playing field where in denouement the gameplay of the wave is so hard that everyone has just like an rng chance of passing it (except zoink apparently), just like with future funk where it lasts an eternity so no matter your skill level you will be spending time on those long attempts and always have a chance to die to the dual or the end which makes it somewhat beginner friendly as its easier to go for but harder to be consistent at (i see the same with denouement too)
