Just asking if I'm the only one who got it because it's from the makers of Xross Dreams

Initially extremely frustrating, some design choices that really made me roll my eyes, but it grew on me. The Me from my first playthrough and the Me from my third completion are two different people. Unique, rough, messy, confusing, and full of heart as human art should be. Good day for the "More games should look and sound like this" crowd.
