I just got done playing the game as I am I writing this review of the game. Achieving the True End on my first try.
Gosh I love this game! I just need to start with that off the bat. It's hard to truly put into words how captivated the bizarre ethereal atmosphere got to me. Like yes, it's all disgusting but in patches and glimpses, Just like Lera, I too couldn't help but be comforted.
It strange, I honestly forgotten I had downloaded the game and when I rediscovered it in my PC I was... Compelled to play it.
And I'm glad I did, not only to play a work of yours but to rediscover the feel of one of my current life projects.
I'll spare all the details (I'm not sure I'd even have to space to truly describe it all lol), but I will say that the imagery and prose mentioning the ocean swallowing one whole just, reignited something in me.
Just, thank you for making this game. I sorely needed it. I'm not sure if it healed me or just soothed the aches I had from some hard times I'm finally getting over. I'll play again, I'm sure. For now though I just want to sit with these thoughts I have for a minute and remembering Nika (along with thinking of where to get the last two numbers I need for the combo lock!).
