For only 3k words, it's pretty impressive how much you managed to fit into this game! It was super cool to see the characters change as the dreams are being described, and all of the character designs as a whole were very good. I was not expecting N-0021 to have more than one sprite so I was definitely caught off-guard by the first appearance of the "thinking" sprite - in a good way of course! I thought it was cute, at least.
The way the characters slowly reveal more through the different versions of themselves again was very cool, and does a great job of setting up the final reveal towards the end. Great work on this!
