This is an art game, it’s a whole experience.
The game plays you more than you play it.
I was playing alone, yet multiple times I had to verbalize a “that’s so clever” or a “this is gorgeous”. Often I found myself with a silly tender smile on my face. Or noticed my mouth was open in awe for the last minute.
When I finished I was shaken.
I felt the need for a hug. I felt empty, like left behind by the game.
This is one of the best games I played in my whole life. Your turn.
