@owashii@snouts.online @monorail (honestly my headcanon is, despite having not played 1, or much of 2, that as of the ending of 1, the main character, the one you play throughout ALL the games, is still in a coma, even through SR4, and has never woken up, hence why things get increasingly weirder and sillier. They save the city in the ending of 1, and everything is (mostly) gritty and dark and grim in that one apparently, so it makes sense they'd want a nicer world, a more fun one. so they dream one up)
