     @Loki made so much more sense when I learned it was a 2014 Kickstarter

     @galena Never even heard of it before the recent nothingburger drama. What did you like about it?

     @triodug It put a nice spin on classic JRPG gameplay with its Emotion system which felt fresh and also provided excellent story-through-gameplay. On that subject, the story was excellent and conveyed very well through not just writing but also environmental storytelling. It had generally well written and relatable characters. Art was beautiful, music was overall great. The split between the two worlds was also pretty cool, a tonne of stuff in the dream world has real world counterparts, which makes a lot of the symbolism easier to understand; Yume Nikki may be one of its inspirations, but it doesn't fall into the trap a lot of Yume Nikki inspired games do where everything is just cryptic symbolism with no real meaning. The worldbuilding drew me in, despite being a dreamworld everything feels oddly, eerily consistent and not dreamlike in ways that begin to make sense and become more unnerving once you understand how the dream actually works. It's the sort of game that invites "deep lore" hunting in a way that doesn't feel obnoxious or like grasping at straws, with a world that's interesting enough to actually make me care about figuring it out.
