The chibified, super-deformed incarnation of Valis where Yuko is named Syd and I now regret not including some semblance of this game having “half the brain that you do.”

Nobody is going to get that.

We return to where it all began… except not really because this is a remake. We’re also breaking from the Valis Collection grips by playing this on the Antstream streaming service, which actually held up quite nicely until the last stage playthrough where it eventually shat the bed. If nothing else, I’m getting some mileage out of this Antstream thing and hopefully, it continues to be a thing for the future, especially as it relates to this hobby of mine.

After what seems like an eternity, our dive into the world of Valis begins with the game that actually got me into the world of Valis in the first place… chronological progression and confusion be damned.

The video footage is going to vary quite a bit because we’re pulling from a variety of sources here. Most of it is Retron 5-based, but there’s also some samplings of Antstream footage and even some DVD Recording To OBS digital alchemy. Just something to bare in mind as we venture into finding new ways of making use of old footage that has no business being used in the modern age, but really, if you’ve been watching this space for a while, you should know better than that.
