An absolutely fascinating video game experience (yes, I'll call it a game with all the might and meaning that word may carry). Its pairing of mechanical simplicity and poetic opaqueness is a dreamlike paradox, making the player's impotence both a feature and a meta-commentary on the medium itself and the expectations it injects into its new creations. It's all pretense, a walking virtual poem, exactly as it need to be.
