A beautiful, peaceful and meditative game that has brought me a lot of joy over the years.

I purchased this game because of Steam reviews - particularly the ones by those people who mentioned having dealt in their own lives with some sort of depression or anxiety issue and who said they found the game touched a nerve. I'm hugely thankful to those people because, yes, this game absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does. I won't go into why but, believe me, it does.

What I will say is that, in addition, it is also one of the most interesting and effective uses of video gaming as a medium to investigate specific questions and concepts. I don't know whether or not it's 'art' and I'm not sure whether that's a useful question to ask, but I firmly believe that what it *is* is an incredibly nuanced and intelligent attempt to tackle very relatable issues which stands head to head with many books, films, essays, music etc. etc.

Side note: JackSepticEye has a beautiful playthrough of this game which completely changed my perception of him as a youtuber.
