rlly rlly beautiful and everything I value in both art and just the world in general. I’ve wanted to work w animals and environmental protection and I fully intend to go to school for that…eventually lol. at first was annoyed that they didn’t more in addition to the visual novel type of storytelling. like they created such a fully well realized world and animals w their own history and lore and ways of living and the art is just so beautiful that I wanted to freely explore it instead of being set on a predetermined and linear path. but I started thinking about it and it makes sense both to ally and thematically, like the framing device is a docu crew and the filmmakers cannot and will not interfere w anything that happens regardless of whether or not they want to. they can only see what their cameras permit them too, they are also stuck on a straight path of which there’s no deviation and where they cannot stop events from happening. tbh when a second chapter does come out I rlly do hope it follows a diff character/breed of marine life w the whale calf just making sporadic appearances, seriously I do think w time and future releases this will come to be better than kr0 in terms of stories like these in this medium.
reminded me of the time I was on a vacation w my bf and we were taking a Lyft somewhere over a bridge, beneath us from inside the car I could see a manatee swimming away. this game made me feel exactly how I did that day, w so much love and appreciation for this world and all of its inhabitants…
