      I think the "it was all a dream" trope needs setup for it to pay off. You can't pull it out of a hat at the end of a story, but this one did a good job flagging that this reality wasn't actually reality from the very beginning, which is important if you want your readers not to feel disappointed with what feels like a loss of stakes at the end. "It was all a dream" is a slap in the face if served wrong the same way that serving tofu to someone who was expecting steak would feel like. You need to tell the diner they're getting tofu up front, so to speak.
      *This story also does it in a good context- it assumes the player has played other pokemon titles and likely used them as childhood escapism, which cements the "it was all a dream" in an almost metatextual nostalgia/familiarity of pokemon literally being all a dream for most players.

    One of the most haunting things, in my opinion, is that throughout the game, there's all kinds of NPCs and interactable objects whose dialogue basically pokes fun at our world. Random stuff, like a cop talking about how they make sure that only people who want to help others get to be cops, and sometimes they get people who just want to have power over others, and they make sure to get rid of people like that right away. Or some random waitress who bemoans the fact she hasn't been getting many tips lately, but then points out that "at least I'll be okay, since my employer actually pays a liveable wage, so I don't have to rely on the generousness of our customers." There's countless examples of this throughout the game. Then when you wake up from your coma in the end, one of the interactable objects you can check is a newspaper which says it's "full of stories about growing wage inequality, the impending doom of climate change, and the spread of authoritarianism and fascism across the world." Basically, you weren't stuck in a nightmare. You were stuck in a dream, and now you've woken into the REAL nightmare. Real life.

    I don't know if it was intentional or not from the game creator, but the professor being named Thorn could be hinting at her being you, same as the team leader being named Yu.
    Thorn is an old English letter for the th sound. The most well known way of drawing it looking very similar to y, and is where thou comes from originally being spelled (thorn)ou, and being pronounced thou before thorn being mostly forgotten and becoming you.

    Wow... fan games can be pretty weird sometimes, but once in a while... once in a while someone slams one straight out of the park, the city, even out of orbit. This was amazing. The best part was that it was clearly planned this way from the beginning. The Player, Yu, and Thorn, when observed side by side, show obvious signs of similarities. Yu is developing the grey hair and lightning bolt bang Thorn has, and the Player looks frankly like they could be Yu's child.
    The very best part is that the big bad of the whole thing... wasn't technically evil. Perhaps a bit too curious and not empathetic enough, but as they said, they intended to keep their promise. They were gonna send the Player home. It didn't even have to come at the cost of something horrifically immoral happening.
    And the Player going home... was the end. The Player had become trapped in a sort of loop of avoiding ending their adventure, repeating and repeating and repeating... until finally, they decided it was finally time to break the loop. It was time to go home. The adventure was over.
    The dream had to finally end.

    I really enjoy these creative narrations of the game, though I got the same ending he did where the player wakes up and goes home, I also tried the ending of the player lying back down on the hospital bed despite the monitor saying we weren't supposed to.
    It spoke a lot, with the player being so immersed in the world made in their head, they didn't want to leave. Despite the risk of never waking up again, they decided to fall back asleep and back into Egho, with the game restarting with the player and the other two starters they didn't choose, Thorn is still there to fill me with more adventures. Made me feel something indescribable, the feeling that I chose a world I made up in my head while giving up the one that was real and everyone else that is there.

    So, my understanding of the story is;
    *spoilers*
    Your player character is in a coma, and has probably been in a coma for many years since childhood. Your parents are devastated they can do nothing to help you (the creepy, dark hospital scenes).
    Professor Thorn is the part of you that knows none of it is real. She knows you have been stuck in a coma, and lost your entire childhood, so she fabricates these events to allow for an adventure, making up for the years of childhood lost during the coma, and also, hopes it will eventually allow you to escape, and wake up, and each "multiverse" is just each of your attempts to wake up from the coma.

To get the alternate ending, you have to interact with the bed and fall back asleep. What's sad about this is that, if you look at the objects around the room you can find doctor's notes about the player, stating if they wake up, they must NEVER under any circumstances be allowed to go back to sleep soon after waking up from the coma, as it possibly could lead them to never waking up again. In order to see the rest of the game, you have to sacrifice not just the world you live in, but take away the player character from their parents

    I remember I had a nightmare where no matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to wake up. Being chased by an entity or dying albeit quite terrifying never really gave me a nightmare dream because, I always found it fascinating. A true nightmare dream for me was when in my dream I would wake up but, it wasn't reality. This constant state of wakeing up continued for 7 cycles. After each cycle it felt like something was closing in on me, till finally I awoke. To this day it is my most terrifying dream.

      This is often true of the Elite Four and Champion. Lance was dragon-themed, not strictly Dragon type (hence the 2 dragons and a dinosaur that aren’t Dragon type). Similarly, Steven was mineral-themed, not strictly Steel type (hence the fossils and ancient clay that aren’t Steel type).
      It’s a great concept, but it’s rare to the point that most players actually complain when they see it-“Lance is a dragon master but his whole team is actually FLYING TYPE???”
