This one fascinated me in a way that other bullet hells and shmups don't normally do. It has a narrative, one that is both bizarre and psychedelic, but also intensely personal in ways that made me feel uncomfortable and like I was encroaching on someone else's internal turmoil; it was like reading someone else's diary.
It's weirdly fascinating, and for those of you who are as unbelievably bad at bullet hell gameplay as I am, thankfully this has an infinite-respawn mode so you can get to the story bits without having to "get gud" first.
