So this was one of the things that wasn't preserved in the global version of the direct sadly. imo the moon influence is strong here, though in truth it seems to actually have references to and a lot of things in common with a lot of Love-de-Lic, Punchline and Onion Games' other titles. And of course there's no hiding the inspiration it has also taken from Undertale here too, which is just too appropriate. Real love letter to all of them here, pardon the obvious pun.
Honestly there was kind of
a lot
of standout stuff that got taken out of the global direct for whatever reason but this was the big one for me (poll related)
