if this was the first atmospheric game i played, i'd probably love it way more. but in 2023, after playing so many beautiful atmospheric games that mesmerized me, this didn't hit as hard.
- minor spoilers below -
a massive point that really put me off was the scary segments, i get scared really easily. i just wanted to sit back and relax so i waited until after midnight to play this, turned off my lights, put the maximum sound, and then there are robotic monsters??? no no no. i was so peaceful rolling around in the sand and chilling but then i suddenly have to hide from a monster? i am okay with walking against the storm / wind, i am okay with any other challenge you put me through, but not monsters! :c
kind of ruined my atmosphere.
