(aka hi, I'm alive)

I got it during the Steam sale because it was the first game the devs of Cassette Beasts made so I knew it had to be good

and it is

so good

It's kind of a fond riff on older Zelda games.

Lenna is a school teacher who one day wakes up outside her school, which has been surrounded by glitch effects, trapping her students inside. So of course she needs to get to them.

So she goes to help train the hero... who dies immediately in the first dungeon.

So now it's up to her to save the world, from both Archangels and bankers.

It's great.

It's really great.

My one point to be aware of is that when the glitch effects get more intense and numerous in a given room, it can be hard to look at (and I don't usually have photosensitivity issues), but they did warn for that.

But it invokes the spirit of the older Zelda games super well (including the part where I'm... bad at them... ahaha...), and you can pick between either an 8-bit or 32-bit art/music style and also change it at will I'm pretty sure (I stuck with 8-bit but I think I'll do a 32-bit playthrough), and just.

It's so good you guys.

(I'm also being purposefully a bit vague in how much I gush for Reasons, but just. Suffice it to say it's great.)
