oh yeah they dont show up haha the endless wandering is the punishment! the fragments are meant to hint that you need to bot pick them up to win— i think i ended up making it more subtle bc at one point my notes def had something like "I WISH I NEVER PICKED THEM UP AT ALL!" but it just didnt fit in with the writing flow i got into in the end..
i just rly wanted to troll and do a reveral of the general thing of games making u pick up items, lik3 usually they put them in out of the way places for making it harder to collect but i mostly tried to put them in places like that as again like a reversal as here its a design choice of "see, u dont need them to beat the game, u specifically went out of ur way to get them when u didnt need to!" but of course like yeah i count on that being the 1st playthrough, so its like im being mean, being a troll heehee
same as i say there "2" endings bc yeah this "3rd" is ambigious and doesnt actually end
it all just felt so fun when i was brainstorming it 😅😂
