#planetokio

Imagine a timeline of the games lol (roughly based on the orders the game come out)

Eastern Mind, Chu-Teng, & Kai-Shi (the cancelled third game) seems to revolve around the past if you think about it honestly (origin of the Earth, the Heaven, the Light & the Dark)

Roly-polys might be if the creatures from the "ancient era" evolved to be less "surreal," seeing how the characters still have that surreal touch, yet more recognizable to specific animals (Pon is a dog, Cho is a fox, etc)

LSD Dream Emulator is kinda the present (a lil unsure on this one tbh). & yes I linked Rin's journey to LSD:DE (referring to one of the dream texts that is basically the prolouge of Eastern Mind; "I lost my soul to a floating green head island", etc). & that the dreamy journeys have vague clues on the near future (y'know, like those kind of dreams that make you vision the future in some way)

Although I gotta say, it's still vague for me so uh, I'm still thinking about this one lol

But I do know that Planetokio is straight up the future! (the story is set in a future setting of Tokyo; ITS FLOATING ISLANDS POWERED MY FUTURE MACHINERY, HOW IS THAT NOT THE FUTURE?) Also you can see that I linked Iken's journey to Rhythm N Face for some reason. I think he'll probably go to adventures & ended up discovering it at one point.

Rhythm N Face might be the further future (???)

Although I feel ike I might switch Planetokio's position with Rhythm N Face actually (rhythm n face feels like pre-planetokio, especially with TAHB's stories in mind)

Or maybe Rhythm N Face IS the further future of Planetokio, since the RNF Characters aren't mostly human. & that Planetokio feels like that kind of story where they made peace with the aliens. That is, if we imply that the non-human RNF characters are indeed aliens (perhaps abstract creatures in general; similar to Roly Polys; except the bonus level guys, they look pretty much aliens lol)

Bonus, what about the TAHB journey? that one's referring to the stories/journals that the TAHB website has. I like to think that Acadey, Beaty, & Toky was childhhood friends with the RNF characters. However, they decided to "go outside & learn the future further"
