First of all, thank you so much for playing the game and for the kind words!
About the theme, the first thought that came to mind when we saw the jam theme was to make the main character a demon like beast and the enemy something cute. So the demon is the "good person" and the cute robot the "antagonist". Then we thought of making the loop be of outside environments, but in reality it's a fabricated world, and the demon hasn't gone out to the real world yet.
This being said, I understand the theme is not too evident in our project. Something to work on future jams!
