Genuinely one of the best games I’ve played so far! I think it wears its inspirations on its sleeve and that works fantastically! I can definitely see the inspiration from old school JRPGs and I like the subtle horror of reality.
It’s quite a sad reality where many have to bury their feelings into themselves rather than share their sorrows. I think you portrayed that very well through abstract thought.
Also loved the aesthetic, the old school camera movements, the poly-graphics etc. Music was soothing, SFX was cute. Loved it! I would like to see a whole series on the orb and Page! <3
