Thea article says the title is a reference to Hemingway, but Hemingway's use of it was a reference to John Donne. The latter is far more familiar to me. Its no more relevant to the game though.

Maybe I need to stop AI doomscrolling for a bit.

It's a really fun little game with lots of character. I played the translation and picked up an original copy on my last trip to Japan.
