I loved this much more than Towelket 2. Not because I liked the ending more than the last game or how it's much brighter, but because of the message. Towelket has, at this point, somewhat obtained an identity for itself with the cutesy artstyle while having brutal, heartbreaking, and disturbing moments, but from all this there can be one common theme I see at this point from the trilogy of games: the cruelty of the universe. Time and time again, you've seen so much death, so much horrible stuff (especially from the 2nd game), but despite this, there is some hope to be found with a brighter tomorrow--a brighter future. Suffering and misfortune is destined to be apart of us in our lives, no matter how much we try to escape or avoid it. Even if you are repeated to experience those same mistakes once again (intended), you will find that you can make hope out of a situation out of it... maybe even give that hope to others to see that you are not alone. Even in the darkest of days you will find a way to salvage something positive out of the destruction you've seen. This story of death, destruction, despair, time-marching, love, passion, and understanding the machinations of the universe made me feel so much for this damn rpgmaker game. I can't even describe how to feel about it other than this is a fucking freeware rpgmaker game!? Not to undermine its quality by price, of course just... shocked how these small games can bring out such a strong story to you for free. Nothing made me feel more than Chun's chapter. Nothing made me think more than Chun's chapter. The philosophical dunk of this game was powerful. I love this game so much and it's the third game in the main series so I do not know how it will top this but it was a peak game. In conclusion, it hit the ball out of the park with what the first and 2nd game did with that striking balance of light hearted comedy and the darkness of the franchise, landing a hopeful and enlightening package in the end.
