one of the most absurd, memorable, unique games i've ever played
throughout the course of this definitely-basic-not-hiding-anything-at-all sokoban game, i jotted down 20 google-doc-pages worth of notes. at one point i was in photoshop for an hour assembling something. i feel like i've become a speedrunner, unwittingly. these puzzle halls are inscribed in the back of my mind. i literally had a dream about solving puzzles. the next night i had another.
in the vein of the witness, outer wilds, myst, rain world, knowledge of mechanics is the main obstacle here. overcovering the layers upon layers of how this game functions, and by extension, the game's diegetic world functions, feels incredibly rewarding. you'll retread a lot of ground but in new contexts, with new mastery, these halls start to feel both like new challenges to overcome and like old friends seen in a new light.
the story, equally esoteric, is also equally rewarding, with tons of lore to uncover and deep characters. the soundtrack is a banger, and the sprites have so much flair and care put into them.
you'll have to forgive me for not being too specific, because the joy of this game is absolutely in discovery. this is one of those impossible-to-truly-replay games. the passion of System Erasure here is incredibly evident, and when you think you've seen it all, there's always something more. get lost in the void already.
then feel the longing. ad meliora
