Klonoa: When a Mascot Breaks Your Heart

Klonoa is a beloved classic that I feel is often misunderstood or represented. To appreciate it's heart we need to appreciate it's through line. This is the story of Heartbreak, this is the story of resolve. This is a retrospective of the development and legacy of a beloved dream.
