Being a big fan of the first game, I think this ultra-deluxe version is quite simply brilliant. While the original left me satisfied with the number of different endings, I don't think I fully grasped what made the game so special. However, this version is a whole different beast. The amount of endings is essentially doubled, providing an incredibly fascinating and surrealistic look into the rules and atmosphere of the world through an array of different emotions and mediums. It's disturbing and existential in a way that almost becomes stressful, while simultaneously being one of the funniest games (if not the funniest) that I've ever played. It's this tonal balance that really makes the game work for me along with the insane attention to detail and creativity bursting at every seam. I'm personally a HUGE fan of games that cleverly utilize layers upon layers of meta and commentary in a way that enhances every aspect of the experience. Thankfully this game took this idea and wove it into super imaginative and mindblowing new content. Going for every ending has seriously been such a treat, and I really respect the developers for enhancing and loving something that's so memorable and unique. Brilliant game <3
