It’s inspiring that something so simple can have such a profound moment, where we literally need to stop what we are doing, and think about nothing other than what just happened.

I shared it with my friends and said to them..”um, yea… i dont know what to say, but that if you are averse to thinking, then you probably shouldnt play this game. note: it is somewhat disturbing.. but beautifully so”

Reminds me in some ways of that well-known art game whose name I forget but where you basically just move forward through a beautifully rendered pixelated landscape. I wonder if anyone's theorized the basic aesthetics of such games. I forgot that I loved playing these little indie things so much (though they can border on frightfully pretentious and/or maudlin).</p> Fun game to play after sleeping to five pm trying to shake off the New Year’s Eve woozies.
