Thanks to Mu Cartographer, I now synesthetically see any abstract shape as a landscape full of hidden treasure ready to be explored - a jar of jam, a plume of smoke, a beam of light. I came for the cool art generation and stayed for the unexpected chill gameplay. The early game feels like an artistic abstraction of the joy of tinkering with a new tool or instrument to figure out how it works. The late game feels like obsessively rummaging through a big box of LEGO pieces to find the exact one you need. The music perfectly solidified the mood and experience - amplifying the mystery and ramping up at just the right moments. Equal parts neat beautiful trippy chunky goo generator AND clicky twisty treasure hunting puzzle machine. A very nice thing to space out deeply into
