I have a lot to say about this game, or the surrounding of the game.
The RPGMaker game DNA is noticeable, as in.
I see some bits of Yume Nikki in here.
Some meta narrative and the involvement of my own person also reminds me of OFF, except Niko is not on a murder spree.
Speaking of OFF, the game is dedicated to the memory of a cat, called the judge, just like in OFF.
Silver, from the very little I've seen, reminds me design wise of Kris in Deltarune, so maybe another inspiration for Toby Fox?
The bed sequences, with the game closing off, to restart on a dream/memory sequence is also a thing in Void Stranger.
The anomalies, square glitchy things, reminds me of Funky Heart I also played literally yesterday.
Maybe I'm having a barnum effect moment, but it's kind of cool to see what feels like nods and inspirations.
Feels familiar, feels like i've been there somehow, somewhen else.
