That was really fun! I'm a life-long Sokoban player and I always appreciate seeing new variants.

I remember a rumor that Donkey Kong appeared as a hidden boss in either Super Mario RPG, the first Paper Mario, or maybe M&L: Superstar Saga. Also, hoaxes about Mr. Resetti's House.
After online guides became widespread, I did end up catching a Mew in Pokemon Blue, following a guide from GameFAQs. It's not under the truck, though.
If I play a random game I find on Itch, it's likely harder to find videos/guides where someone else already found all the secrets. The tradeoff being that with fewer players, there are fewer entertaining rumors about obscure games.
BTW, did you know that in Tomato Clinic, it's totally possible to unlock the ability to play as a werewolf? My Aunt who works at NPCKC said so. Vampires don't accept blood donations from werewolves due to centuries of conflict between their species.
I really like the original game and I am looking forward to the sequel. I'm aro and enby and I love seeing representation, and I have fond memories of the original Gameboy.
However, I am disappointed that the Steam page says it will be Windows-only. For the other games you've released on Steam, I bought them both on Itch and on Steam. But if there is no Linux build for Marron's Day, then I will likely only get the Itch version and not buy it on Steam. Either way, I look forward to playing it in some form.
I'm glad to see this in a downloadable form!
One thing I am confused about: In the first page of Grimm & Snowy's entry, it says Grimm is Clementine's first healed shard.
On the other hand, from what I can tell, the Missing Moments"La Mano Pasante" and "Sono" indicate that Grimm isn't the first shard Clementine healed, just the first one to make her sprout horns:
On the first page of "La Mano Pasante," we see cats (that could be healed shards) huddled around Clem and Magpie. Also, on "Sono," page 3, Goose suggests shards aren't attacking them because they are afraid of "cats," suggesting the cats that have been following them are purified shards.
Are there plans to clarify this discrepancy?
I'm two weeks late in responding, but I want to say: Thank you.
I first played the AYoS trilogy last summer. I knew it was a collection of three older games (all of which were still available in their legacy forms at the time), but I had no idea you didn't originally plan it as a trilogy. I cried through much of the game, shifting between tears of sadness and joy.
I am disappointed that this game is no longer available on PC. I have the legacy version saved on my computer, but now any time I recommend this game I have to add the caveat "only available for new downloads on consoles: if you don't have a console and haven't already downloaded it you can't play it."
Even though I paid for the legacy version, I'd be happy to pay again for the HD version if it came to PC or Android.
I finally got all the endings (on Android the color scheme is easier to read than on desktop for some reason). I utterly love all the characters. I also enjoyed the art collection PDF.
MINOR SPOILER WARNING:
When I first saw Cici's color scheme I thought it might be a hint that she is trans. I was a little disappointed that that information wasn't revealed in any of the endings or in the art collection. Maybe it doesn't actually make sense to feel dissapointed, because the game doesn't actually say Cici's trans so I shouldn't have expected her to be. My response is probably irrational.
Even so I really enjoyed Bea's reveal.
The Linux version does not seem to work for me on Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. After unzipping, and adjusting the permission to allow "Game.desktop" to run as a program, I tried running "./Game.desktop" in the terminal and got the following error:
./Game.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./Game.desktop: line 3: -c: command not found
Does anyone know how to work around this issue? All other NPCKC games I've tried work. I think I'm just going to play the Android version on my phone.
EDIT: I have now completed the game on my phone and I loved the ending!
