Escapism

Donโ€™t rush it, just enjoy the visuals, music, sound and the imagination of it all. I played it again back to back and I am just playing it again after a year and enjoying it a third time.

You wanted a game; you got art

If you are the type of person who is visually illiterate or walks into an art gallery and feels confused, then you will not like this at all. On the other hand, if you are an art lover, appreciate minimalism, perhaps Kubrik, or films like Under The Skin, you will really enjoy this. Both art and soundscape are brilliant. Reminds me of Zoviet*France, Pansonic or Kotra. Give it a go. It is short but very well made. It will stir your soul, if you only let it.
