I did some testing in Dovvee's ReQuest to see if I could get the ROM size below 2MiB. I removed some large scenes, all text for chests and put the compiler on placebo. Got things down to 1.93MiB.
Ultimately I need the things I removed but it might be possible to remake them smaller...

I probably shouldn't post things like this. It's a late game spoiler, if only a minor one. I don't know. I've been so open about the development of this game that I've kind of just got used to sharing almost everything. I probably shouldn't.
I can't stop thinking of that finale for The Amazing Digital Circus. I've lost sleep over it. I don't think I've ever been hit this hard by a work of fiction before. How do I recover from this?
I've redone the chest logic multiple times already in attempts to save space. There's a lot of chests in the game so they take up a lot of space. I'm thinking now that I might be able to optimise them further by condensing their text into a single script that's dependant on what's inside.
This is probably just perfectionism. The game will work fine on a 4MiB cartridge. I would just like to squeeze it onto a 2MiB one! Not a serious issue if I can't.
I am so glad I managed to dodge #TADC spoilers for two weeks...
I'm not going to say anything for spoiler sake as I imagine there are still those waiting to watch the finale.
But...
Like...
Wow...
Maybe one of their questions should have been "You're nearly there, through stress and fun. So why stop here when almost done?"
Alright. Game dev break's over. Let's get back to it. Perhaps without working 32 consecutive days this time...
