When I moved to New York City in the year 2000, I took a job a half a block from the World Trade Center. I loved to spend my lunch break under the Twin Towers. It was such an unreal landscape. I'd listen to ambient music on my headphones and sit next to a large orb-shaped sculpture in the center of the pavilion and look up; the towers were just so impossibly tall that they seemed to alter to laws of physics. They seemed to swallow sound and to make the world monochrome, and it was always so bright. I quit that job on September 7, 2001, and a few days later those memories were obliterated by much uglier scenes. This game resurrected those old sensations as intensely as if I'd gone back 23 years.
