Maybe you'll respect this dead person instead

I don't know why, but as I review this I am struck by a strong memory of the game Gallery Gal, where you can, at any point in the narrative, turn into an art gallery, thus permanently ending the game (and destroying any structures in the area).

This game has you play as a summoner who cannot talk and, instead, summons one of four people: a fairy general, a giant, a huge beast (who, much like gallery gal, destroys the area), and a 3.5th-wall breaking magical character.

Essentially all gameplay is choosing between these 4, which is a fun mechanism. There's not really anything wrong with the game, but somehow it felt like something was missing, almost like it was an early access game or a trailer for a game.

I didn't play the games during Spring Thing (wanting to preserve some neutrality) and didn't read most reviews, so I thought the whole time this was a thoughtful slice of life game about someone who had passed on and it was a funeral or something with a message beyond the grave to shame the living. I liked this, though!
