This was phenomenal!! I loved all the art, the narrative, music visuals- everything was so beautiful!! The creatures in the forest were so terrifying and I was so panicked I got lost like twice haha! I also loved the grave puzzle, it was easy to comprehend- Everything felt so somber and desolate..really captured that "everything really is dying" kind of feeling.
I love how everything just felt like it all fit in with it's surroundings- the playable character meshed well with the surrounding dark tones, and I had this nostalgic, melancholic feeling when overlooking the cliff by the "stars". I wish I could have known what this world was like before things became so hellish- the beginning and ending were so beautiful, I feel like ...to compare it, would be something like looking at something that has worn down from continuous usage like a wall with chipped paint where people touch often, only for the outer parts to be in pristine shape- like you're looking at something that's had a lot of love and loss but surrounded by things that haven't been as picked apart or worn away.
Hopefully I'm not getting too introspective about it, but I dunno, this game is really, really beautiful to me. Thank you for sharing such a cool and wonderful experience!
One thing to note; if you're done with the game and start again, only the blue sky will show and you can control the player (footsteps are heard) and the menu is still accessible- I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, and if so, please disregard!
Alz this was SO COOL!!!! It felt so polished and immersive. The sound design about brought me to tears multiple times. I thought the puzzles made sense, I love a good maze lol. And in the video I talked about my thoughts about the slow / glitchy part of the push puzzle (well balanced in the end, frustrating at first but REALLY satisfying to know how intentional it was). I feel like I missed the context and after I beat it I read through some comments and realize now it's tied into your other games so that makes more sense haha. I'll have to circle back and go check those out!! I really loved the like, Eldridge horror feeling of it. Something bigger than comprehension looming over us the PC. REALLY fun, really beautiful. Had a lot of fun playing it.
