Message: [QUOTE="IDMTINP, post: 64732, member: 174674"] I'm taken aback by how others seem to have had an identical experience to mine. I remember that demo disc and how the game felt, especially as [URL='https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxOrHOnU6fvpC-ehBW0CEHUFd-dr3C8_aK?si=WpdB-yKbarqpoagM']Eliott[/URL] (the first starter character name) falls into an endless abyss when you fail. I absolutely vibe with the ambience. Outside of the creepiness, the game has a lot to remember. The ending is so bizarre and leaves you wondering what the game was ever about. The game makes me think about the future of humanity in general and how our intellect will inevitably become more and more industrialized as capitalism continues. The creator of the game, [URL='http://www.visualogue.com/speakers/sato_e.html']Masahiko Sato[/URL], is exactly the type of person you'd imagine would come up with this game. He's an author and professor and clearly's got a brain and half. [URL='https://shmuplations.com/iq/']This is a great interview[/URL] that reveals his game design philosophies. He apparently imagined the game's atmosphere from conception, rather dark and simple. [/QUOTE]
