"terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow."

It truly honors the "survival" part. It's also absolutely flawless in its level design and atmosphere.

The biggest draw, though, is literally everything else. The cryptic story, the interesting characters, the setting and abstract world-building, the excellent art and sound design, the intense and haunting soundtrack, the claustrophobic atmosphere, and the very cinematic and surrealistic presentation are all supremely crafted, sucking you into its cold world and making for a wholly unique and unforgettable experience.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. It's simultaneously so fun and hellish to play at the same time and I'm still thinking about it.
