hahah you're reminding me i desperately need to put Chrono Cross on the to-play list - just remedied that. x) agreed though - it isn't the same, but those sorts of levels that are like a glitch in time, the stasis bit ... (thinking of the field-inside-the-moon in MM too), the best kind of fridge horror.

glad you think it's focused! :D definitely have seen feature creep hit people's first indie games hard, and if there's ways to streamline it further, i will. but at least this will cover the rockiest parts while making it feel reasonably fleshed out with a beginning/middle/end.

(lolol i'll just have to reclaim that name then so the game eclipses it XD)
