Edit: Full playthrough on Youtube here, minus the ending website.

Cool game! I spent about two hours on it from start to finish. It's a bit like Yume Nikki meets The Matrix with graphics straight out of Minecraft - but the lofi pixelly quality fits the vibe nicely. I love the dream area with the rain. Perfectly eerie. Was actually expecting a jumpscare at some points, but thankfully there were none.

I think the plot is a bit scattershot, there's a lot of places and characters whose roles aren't exactly clear and the story feels somewhat random. (The cat's a good example. I mean, what is that thing's deal? Funny critter.) But that's life too, I guess. Oh, and the chase scene was really annoying especially because the game closes every time you fail, but thankfully I beat it after only six or so tries.

One thing that might've helped was making Amalgamia's true nature less obvious, since I called it just from reading the game's description. But I don't think it's meant to be a large plot twist, either. The way the game's set up it's more about seeing her discover herself and who she really is, even if it doesn't necessarily come as a surprise to the reader. It's like... I dunno, I keep making comparisons here. Serial Experiments Lain?

Also, I'd like to make special note of the document that criticizes utilitarianism by citing Mencius Moldbug, which is hilarious, really. I can't take Dark Enlightenment people seriously.

In the end I'm left with a lot of unanswered questions, which is par for the course when you have an eerie dream exploration game. Also, have I mentioned how much I love the soundtrack? It's great. The game would be so much less without it.
