writing another comment now that ive had time to finish it. didnt clock the PKD reference until u mentioned it (obvi played more dated action platformers than read books) but that feeling of paranoia, of being locked into the worst possible timeline and the utter banality of it felt like a cosmic reference.
something entirely its own though, PKD never had needle drops that made my heart sink or made me laugh out loud (in the case of vielka's 'i was fucking with you' followed by the scene change to the bandage scene it made me lol out loud at work)
