aaaaa thank you so much!! <3
(SPOILERS)
i'm really glad the fear factor worked for you! definitely one of the things i focused most on (if it wasn't obvious from the game's title lol), and the bait-and-switch with the rtp graphics was honestly one of my favorite parts to make haha. it was just me thinking "hmm what would really creep me tf out in an rpg maker game? oh i know, completely switching the presentation by making it look like the game glitched!" lol. i'm really glad it worked for you! :D
the recording is an audio of someone singing "au clair de la lune", it was recorded over 100 years ago and restored recently. i remember hearing it for the first time in a markiplier video where he played a horror game named "trumpets". it's such a creepy and cool sound and it stuck with me since i first heard it, so it was really awesome to use it in a game of my own haha. here's the video i took the sound from if you wanna check it out!
thank you so much for the comment abra, you're really nice and your compliments mean a lot <3
(also btw, fragile sun is first on my list of jam games i'll play >:D)
