This is basically an anime.
It has all the tropes of being un-releasable outside of Japan, from a strange and obtuse story to some very direct biblical references.
Essentially, think Noah collecting animals ala Pokemon but it's in the future and somewhat more sandbox-y. Luckily it also has a sense of humor, from the titular Linda deriding you for only being at LVL 1 and not to even speak to her until LVL 3. Yeah it's gonna be one of those.
Another interesting aspect to this game is that there are various story scenarios that you can play through while the essential gameplay loop remains the same. You spend 8 years, or 32 seasons, running around fighting animals and collecting them, trying to get a male and female from 40 species, then random story beats come in here and there.
Actually would love a sequel or remake with better/modern graphics of this one... only thing I can somewhat compare it to is the Metal Max games, but mostly in the open-world RPG department and not much else.
