There Is An Oddly Eerie Aquarium But I Do Not Care Bc Fishies

there is an oddly eerie aquarium but I do not care bc fishies

LOVE THE AQUARIUM SO MUCH

Completely understand why it comes off as eerie, but personally found it really relaxing. Think it gets down the feeling of, "The ocean is a vast unknown land that can be horrifying, but it can be breathtakingly beautiful too." but leans towards the pretty part heh

also yes, fishies. good friends that are not food

ALSO thoughts on the hospital?

Sooooo for starters LOVE THE HOSPITAL AREA, ITS SUCH A NEAT AREA . Also the clones event is one of favorites, it's so bizarre and unnerving and am really intrigued by it and just love it [granted miiiiiight be into medical aesthetics considering am into menhera n that kinda imagery. and might just be a weirdo]

Kinda messy/more throwing around notes [yes am going through and re-visiting areas cause am like. that.] than an actual coherent thought

First off there's the weird backgrounds for the connection to the hospital [according to terminal are titled 'mouth' and 'tear']. Think it could mean Tatsuki has a distrust of/views doctors as manipulative?

Nother thing is the room you start in is titled 'Isolation Ward.' [might be nothing other than names to make coding easier but still wanna note it]

Not entirely sure how to word this but it doesn't give off the usual hospital feeling that other games with them do, might be due to walls being yellow instead of white and abundance of chairs.

Obviously feel like something traumatic happened to Tatsuki at one. The clones event [terminal says room's titled Decay] maybe being them going through multiple near death experiences at one or just the fear of dying while in a critical state at one. Also possibly something like a fever dream or delirium induced by state or medication. Since there's the two bodies in hallway of alt hospital could be that they saw someone else die and got scared they would as well.

There's also the odd doctor that changes the menu and not any other staff around so maybe during stay the staff treated Tatsuki poorly and came off cold and distant or neglectful which lead to Tats having a distrust/dislike of doctors.

note: the terminal is a Linux thing. It's a text based interface that's used to run the games and stays open while game is open. bad at explaining things so here's photo of it 'running' game with game window next to it

know nothing about rpgmaker development and am essentially kinda guessing based on what it spits out.

Finally played Gospel of Eve [sequel to Silver Thread] by Puchi on Itch.io

it’s rlly good, you should play it.

plus for some people: not so much in this one, but in Silver Thread thought it was fairly heavily implied Alicia had a girlfriend or something involving romance of the sorts [ngl ooked at her and kinda went, ‘yeah you seem like someone that could be a protag in a gothic lesbian novel.”. meanwhile Beaford’s is Hold Me Closer, Necromancer” heh]

btw I picked up debris bc of u, it's super interesting so far! the only real like. lore thing I've seen is a girl and like. a Masada/enderman type guy in the sort of planty hallway with all the lilies

AAAAAAAAAAH BRB CRYING FOR AN HOUR

Am really glad you like it! ꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ

You mean these two? Heh am curious what your take on them is since you called em lore. Always found this room really interesting [it almost feels surreal but in a ghibli or ps1-era adventure game way if that makes sense] but have zero idea what to make of it or them.

Small game rec: A Vacation In Nebula by Frogge on Itch.io

An atmospheric walking simulator with gorgeous art that’s a lighthearted feel good game. It’s really small [1.3 MB] as it was made for a challenge to make a game that could fit on a floppy disk. For reference Yume Nikki is around 70 MB.

Best way to describe it is it’s a game embodiment of taking a short break, short but sweet and the type that’s nice to play from time to time when you really need to play something for a few minutes to relax.

got reminded about this from talk about endings n stuff.

and then proceeded to hurt self thinking about Soutarou's state and how much shit Tatsuki would've had to go through to get there (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)

Not so much a theory but a concept for Debris/Mikan Muzou that seems interesting to play with, might be a bit stretched and winded.

Spoiler warning for Debris ending
