Once my least-favorite game. Now... eh. Basic platformer that mostly exists as a mood and spectacle piece. I find its misanthropy more unpleasant than compellingly melancholy (its abrupt violence is jarringly cartoony for the tone it's going for). Other games since have done far more interesting things conveying mood through the silhouette aesthetic, esp. Retro's Donkey Kong Country games.

But I get why people are pulled in by this, even if I am not.
