Actually started playing this for the first time a few days ago! Such a good game, very charming art style, and the mechanics and ideas are amazing. Certainly a game to go into blind, and just enjoy the experience.
I also did not realise it was secretly a soulslike, but it never really felt that punishing (as someone who never got past the first real boss of Elden Ring).
Fun fact: If you google those codes you find out that they are "real" codes, but they don't actually activate Windows. I think they are something that are used as placeholders in the upgrade from Windows 8 to 10 or something, but don't know the specifics.
ChatGPT actually can't create new "words", just regurgitate words that it's seen somewhere before!
I will say, as I've grown older and more jaded, I've been finding the GPL more and more appealing...
Edit: Oh wow, why did a year old post show up at the top of "Hot", sorry about bumping.
