What Made Dark Cloud 2 Work
Dark Cloud 2 is three games sharing a save file: a randomly generated dungeon crawler, a town-rebuilding sim where you place every building, and an invention system where you photograph things in the world to design new items. The Georama half is why people remember it, and nothing has really tried it since.
