I loved this game and recommended it far and wide. I had a lot of fun reading deep into the game. I appreciate it as a bit of a "fuck you" to traditional gaming or just the idea of linear storytelling, cohesion, and progress that folks are concerned with in gaming and in general. I also like this game for the fact that it feels like a piece of interactive art, which I personally believe is how all games should feel (though often this fact is obscured by complicated mechanics and a focus on the idea of measured progress). Thank you for taking the time to develop a game so refreshingly unconventional. The art was great, the jokes were hilarious, and all-in-all it was engaging and fun to play through. This is exactly the kind of game I've been looking for.

Am I overanalyzing this now? Because for me, Space Funeral is a game that deconstructs other games, especially RPG ones. Some examples (contains Spoilers!):
1. The caves are short and the combat easy. When all other games try to challenge the player Space Funeral throws in a special attack that can completely obliterate any enemy, you only need some luck.
2. The characters you meet always talks about how dangerous things are, but there’s actually very little danger. The player expects it to be, but as I see it, the game really plays tricks with your expectations and the general game conventions and clichés.
3. The sequence with Dracula is completely meaningless. Which is what makes it all the more meaningful. Again with expectations.
4. Most of the dialogue, really.
5. Some of the items. You think you’re going to use them, and if this was just another JRPG, you would have to – just like you’d have to be able to open that chest at Dracula’s place, but the game doesn’t do what it should do, it does something else.
6. Blood, blood, blood. And everybody knows what they mean.
All these things show us how games I general have become more and more the same, one-way-oriented. You can always tell what’s going to happen next. Space Funeral breaks down all these expectations and throws in things that may seem like nonsense, but in my eyes is very far from. Quite the opposite.
With all these things considered, what do the ending say? Really got me thinking.
Also, just have to say your style is brilliant. And the music, not your typical game music! It’s superbly implemented.
But even if I’m overanalyzing your game, even if you didn’t think anything about all these things above, it’s still an amazing game. And I don’t mean that in a sort of cool way, but that it was awe-inspiring. You have inspired my poetry writing (it’s in Swedish, of course; sorry for my monotone Engli

This game was amazing. Yes the battles were easy, yes it was fast and simple and everything that an rpg should try to not be, and yet it was AMAZING.
This game, it is just... hilarious, and awesome, and simple yet complicated.
I loved it. It was awesome.
And it introduced new things every step of the way, it left confusion, it was obscure. Wonderful.
