Dream Mirage

*SPOILERS*

Wow. Just wow. Finally got around to finishing my playthrough of this game, and I'm honestly crying even though I don't fully understand why I'm so emotional. This game has some of the most beautiful, sad, and chilling moments I've ever seen in any media, at least in the way that they affected me personally. This is a little personal, but this game brings back strange feelings of memories I can't quite recall, as well as my more recent breakup with my long term boyfriend/best friend that tore me apart. It really portrays the feeling of losing the person you cared about the most in a surprisingly visceral way, even if that isn't the literal meaning of the story. Hits especially close to home as a queer person. I'm gonna be processing this experience for a long time. Well done brother.

I really enjoyed this game! I was able to find the six main tapes (along with some of the secret ones) and see Ending 1. Something about the lowpoly aesthetics and inherent mystery of the dream world really gripped me. This is a game I am going to ponder the symbolism of for a while. May even poke around again to get the other endings at some point.

I think my only big issue was that after I got the ending, the game asked me if I wanted to reset my progress. I pressed no, but it shut down and my progress was gone anyway ^_^" other than that, everything was very cool and solid. Good job!

Pretty stuck rn, if anyone has hints for areas to poke around in I'd really appreciate it
