So you've played the game ....wait, what do you mean you haven't played? Get out of here! Shoo, play the game before reading this part! Also, you're probably not going to enjoy reading these if you hated your English teacher talking about how the writer feels in a novel.

Right! Anyhow, for those who are wondering what fairy tale is this inspired from:
Primary inspiration

Story and Environment inspiration:

Battle/bad end/gone gam mak:
Red and the wolf


Characters explanation:

Red:
If you don't know this...just...stay not knowing it, you'll know one day. :)

The three friends, Cate, Doge and Reggy. My meme characters in the past games.
In this game, is actually morning, day and night. Also a sign of childhood, adult, and senior.


Here are some of the pictures made for them for the credit, but was decided not to include it in the final product.

Cate:



Cate represents morning, a new dawn. And the child age of any human. The place where everything begins. A colourful world.


Doge:



Doge is day, adulthood of a human. Materialistic, realistic, after all, it's sick and tiring being through the hardship of life. But do you know, before heading to Fortuneland the bgm played was flower dance. Yeah, life isn't that bad, I think. What about you?
Also, blackouts actually meant losing the warmth of life.


Reggy!

Reggy is the Night, the final part of the game. Those who read Baba yaga will know about the stars. Why does the childish, dumb Reggy represent the senior age of a human? Well, you'll want to stay at your most happiest time of your life when you're old....


Of course, different human, different life. These are just a minor representation of life.

Woah woah woah, what is the dark twist??
......

The twist has been there since the beginning of the game, the campfire, rat dying. Doge's epilogue, every gamer's worst nightmare. Reality.


Last random fact that no one will know. Cause it's never hinted in the game.
The bgm, during the way back, the bgm played is Perfect by Ikson. Because it's perfect. Your perfect together again moment.

Whereas the credit bgm is Perfect Blue. Suppose DJ okawari's intention is for the movie perfect blue. But here, it represents the perfect blue, bittersweet. You're leaving another adventure, you're going home, your friends are returning. You're going back to....your life.
