I'm writing this with 11.3 hours in – I don't know if I'll put more in as I am gated by just…The obscure nature of everything adds to the mystery of what is really at play in this game, and just how far…This is what exploration in games should feel like!I recognise that I've done alot of name-dropping right off the bat, but this game has a personality and atmosphere all its…Why it fits
