the premise stood out to me immediately, and the softly melancholic atmosphere it created was beautiful. the mechanic conveys the theme in a super interesting way - at first i was more calculating about my choices but became more and more relaxed as the story went on. spending time waiting for something is stressful, but because that something is the end of all things you just have to find a way to be at peace with what you do. i loved this! i spent hours just petting the cat.
