i absolutely adore this game, the first time i played it was to make a video essay for a class and i ended up finishing it three times in two days. it made me feel physically cold to play, i was so tense and on edge, it was just tough to play. on the surface it was not fun but i think the more time passes, the more time i realize how deeply this game made me feel things and connect with the experience goals. the darkness, the noise, the contrast, everything feels really in tune in making the game feel hostile, i think it really succeeded. getting to the end of the game, i honestly thought that i could just start crying, so i was really underwhelmed with the "boss battle" type ending. the game put me in the perfect position to really knock the experience out of the park emotionally, so just more of the same except less interesting for the ending was a huge bummer. that's really the main fault i think the game has, i really love it otherwise. incredible audio design, cool mechanics, it's just so good.
