I did that boss fight the way they seem to want you to do it: throwing her cookie-bombs back at her. Which had the problem of being really, really prone to missing.
Now that I got Clairvoyance, I've been checking what every single character sees me as. It's always something silly, often related to people's backstories. Which are, indeed, pretty twisted - this is really a very adult game. Which might be part of why it got so little promotion: platformers are typically sold as HAPPY FUN BUTT-BOUNCE SUNSHINE TIME, which this really is not - those cartoony View-Master reels of memories touch on a lot of kinds of loss and pain.
