Thank you so much, this comment really made my day, especially that part about the sidequests ♥
Regarding influences, I don't think I could name just one, and there are other games that may have influenced me without me realizing it, but the games that inspired me the most to work on an RPG were Square's and ATLUS games. Another game that inspired me a lot was "Papers, Please", because back then I thought people wouldn't be interested in playing a game with simple graphics and loads of social criticism, and I'm glad I was wrong. Undertale also inspired me in a way because I wasn't sure if people were still interested in playing RPGs with minimalistic pixel art unless they were free, and once again, my predictions were wrong, oops.
