This is going to be a bit sentimental, which is why I'm typing it here and not in the review. This game... made me feel things. I don't even know why. I grew up with relatively new consoles, 720p, 1080p, etcetera. But something about this GAME just weirdly comforts me. The low polygon count, the crappy English voice acting, the absurdity! It makes me feel nostalgic for a time I've never even LIVED in. [...]

And it's so... weird. I can barely keep myself from just... staring. Staring far, far into the digital cosmos that I only FEEL like nurtured me. It's just pixels on a screen, why do I FEEL like this? It's... baffling. I've never owned a PS2, let alone a physical copy of this weird ass game. Its just... a lot to take in. I really needed an experience like this, to be honest. [...]

There's been *things* that have happened in my life over the past few days that are too personal to discuss, and this game has really helped me tough it out. A game that leads me onto nostalgia that never even existed. Have you ever felt this? Reminiscing a time you've never experienced? I don't know. Sorry, this is too long. I'm rambling. New review for this game should be out in a few days. If I have time, that is.

Hope you're doing ok, sounds like a new happy memory though amongst it all.

Yeah I know the feeling, sometimes a game just hits you like that. Wasn't quite the same thing but Klonoa: Door to Phantomile gives me a similar feeling, you might like that game. Don't play the remaster though it's terrible, completely ruins the atmosphere, just emulate it.

Supremely excited for the review. Hope you're doing okay. Also, highly recommend you check out the sequel if you ever get the chance; personally I think it's even better than the first.
