Sorry for commenting so much, but one really fun thing I've been doing: The game recognizes the player and the player character as seperate entities if introduced as such.
I have been playing the role of Mr. Narrator, doing monthly check-ins on the lovebirds. It is quite entertaining. In this canon, the hellscape outside is simply a panorama. The two have matching shirts now, both with the printing "I'm with Crazy."
Do give it a try! It's great fun!
