Title
More fun for the generation that discovered LSD much later on. This one's self-aware bits come with its "fishing game" bit which probably could've been applied more and in more absurd bits.

Plus sides:
- a proper sense of wonder stumbling upon a new area with proper dream-like nature
- Nails aesthetic (giant organized but unorganized menus, chunk PS1-esque environments)
- does not resort to lame jump scares

Negatives:
- some things are a bit obtuse (scooping up potions after you dropped them. tossing some items can make them lost forever).
- occasionally balances a bit too far into ending revelations and text that's trying to shock or enlighten where I'm like "uh-huh". I enjoyed the goofier endings a bit more than the ones that were "bad".

It's a bit short in a world where games Hypnagogia 無限の夢 Boundless Dreams offer similar experiences with more gameplay and are much longer, but as most of these surreal adventure games are pretty damn short, I'm not complaining.

Title
NAILS the "haunted ps1" aesthetic and is genuinely beautiful at times. a bit lacking in content but definitely worth picking up

    Much more enjoyable game if you use a guide to get past the very obtuse stuff.

    Solving that first puzzle and watching that eldritch monster slowly come towards you out of the fog was a masterful moment
