For real for real one of my favourite games. replayed it last year while streaming for some friends and it still holds that special place for me. its all about the vibes, the music, the characters. it takes you to a place, a dream, a memory. as fragile as it is beautiful, almost popping out of the screen with feelings at points. maybe thats just me. with some of the postgame stuff in particular, you can feel how its a game about being a game, playing games, escaping into an Other, something i spent my whole adolescence doing. it rly speaks to me in that way. its also been a hugely influential to me as an artist, and inspired me to want to make games in a very direct way (seriously i was reading their tigforums threads n stuff.. it was like 2 ppl made this game? you can just do that??). anyway for their first game, analgesic rly put their whole pussy into it.
