If you remember that funny screensaver & ambient noise generator called 'Mountain' (has achievements now), you already know the dev David OReilly who's vastly expanded his idea behind that one in his new creation 'Everything'. As the change in names suggests it's really much bigger, but still can perfectly (even better) serve you as a screensaver in autoplay mode.

The thing is built around the famous series of lectures by Dr. Alan Watts, a well-known popularizer of Eastern philosophy in the West & a psychedelic guru - I remember some of those sayings from listening to psy-ambient tracks, where the musicians used them as samples, you know.. along with Terence McKenna's & Timothy Leary's words. I'm also totally into wholistic philosophy & esoteric psychology myself, I study yoga & use psychoactive substances - so I kinda represent 100% target audience for this.. AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL MY GAMING LIFE, RLY! For games with more serious, deep & grown-up ideology behind them.

So if you are far from these things I doubt you are gonna like the game so much, because it's a classic trip with no final destination, a dream-like endless sandbox, an interactive fractal. If you agree that 'Call of Duty' is a better game than 'Mountain' - please refrain from touching this one with your peasant hands LOL) Just kidding - do try it, as a gaming experience it most of all reminds me of Peter Molyneux's 'Black&White' without the warring hassle, or some other God-simulator, but in this one you cosplay a lost God, a God who forgot & has to recall (just like the hindu tantrics define a human soul).

Technically you just hoard things in this world seeng them as aggregates, manifolds, pluralities. You meet them as different logical categories, but behaving the same way when seen on larger scale. One wolf befriends another, you get a pack of them in no time, soon it's a legion of wolves - they roll over (literally) the ecosystem (sadly there's no depiction of harm they do) obeying your will, you feel like you control the 'wolfness' itself. So it goes on different scales in parallels - the unique feature of this software is letting you drop down to microworld or go up to galaxies & observe the dynamical sameness of the totally different, inducing the ideas of enlightment studies, e.g. the koan: what the space between things does sooner - separates them or links them?

The coolest ability of this scaling engine is to form a subspace of a closed looped virtual sphere of an ecosystem in any place you put it ('Mountain' had such a bubble & it was lonely) - you want to get acquainted with bugs & viruses under the wolf's paws, you're there in a couple of clicks, you look up as a bug & you see that very wolf you've been incarnating previously in strong optical blur, for he is far away in another dimention, waiting for you to return from the gutter.

We play it with my non-gaming wife & she's having a blast - usual games with aims & artificial difficulties of all kind do stress her so much she can't finish any, even the most calm point'n'clicks madden her if something doesn't work out & she runs away to watch her movies, but with this brief gamified philosophy course I have a strong hope to break the tendency, firstly because you don't have to finish anything in 'Everything' )
