One of the first games that made me acquainted with this type of adventure and I remember it fondly. The narrative aspect might be the weakest, it's your average indie game that's a metaphor for something tragic. The connection to the actual thalamus is there, but much less overt than in Figment, which has a similar idea. I think the good thing about this game is how consequential it is with using the same features throughout consistently - the blue strands forming balls or bridges that can light up in the night, the day and night or rain and sunny switches, the fog... the environments are varied too, and there's always a good idea to be found, especially considering its age and how even today's games often fail to learn from this.
