Nature, and the cosmos in all its vastness, challenge human greatness, which is based on safety to keep advancing over what we still do not understand, the neglected unknown when we are strong, and overwhelming when we are weak. I really liked how the 'monster' proposed here is progress itself, guided with enough naturalness to reinforce the plot twist at the tenuous boundary between attraction to the unknown and the fear of what might be found. The fragility that Mike places himself in, especially in the way he gradually realizes he cannot predict or control the consequences, shakes the unwavering belief that humanity controls its environment, forcing us to return to our natural state; animals that have developed considerably, but are still, in essence, merely animals.

Interestingly, despite the final, it is a circumstantial advancement, as it placed the sacrifice of innovation before preservation, which is a distinctly human condition, resulting in unpreparedness and loss, because, under the given circumstances, moving forward means abandoning one structure in favor of another.

At the end, when I watched the credits, I remembered this song. Another good Doma game, I'm very happy to follow you! ‧₊˚✩彡
