Definitely cool; I like the aesthetic. There hasn't been any games I've seen that really capture that in a playable way. There might be elements here and there, but not fully immersed like that though.
Not game related, but reminds me of:
That's a sick show. Don't like some episodes but those ones are good.
I went looking for tilt shift games and saw Fantasian Neo Dimension. ( You probably saw this already )
I remember seeing them working on this years ago and I was disappointed that it was only on Apple Arcade. They built the world by hand and digitized it. I think they should've used more detailed character models, but more importantly make it so the lighting cannot see the characters, then add a 2nd set of lights that only see the characters. That way they can correct how the characters look in each scene in the same way we composite layers in feature animation.
I don't have those platforms but I do have a Switch Emulator I used to play Link's Awakening, but damn. I can't get into something that takes forever to complete. I need a game where I can hop in, play for awhile and go. Something with less story.
