I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.
That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.
I was absolutely entranced.
I saw so much praise for this game, which got me to buy. Then I genuinely felt like I played a different game than everybody else.
Not that I thought it was bad or anything, I just walked across the landscape for 2h15m and then haven’t thought about it since.
The amazing part for me is running into a stranger and we have to communicate with the limited system in game. Outside of that it’s a competent “walking simulator” with decent puzzles and great art. If that’s not your thing I get it.
Wait that other person I saw was a real person and not an NPC?? 🤯
Yup. When the game ends, you will see a list of player IDs you’ve met during your journey
That’s so wild. I met one person and I was just following them around to see where the “AI” was taking them. I thought it was very advanced for an older game 😅 I think I may not be the smartest
It made me a better person.
If that is meant literally, how did it make you a better person?
I appreciated the combined poetry of something so much it made me more tolerant, appreciative, optimistic and excited about life and people on the whole.
Turned the dial.
Dang, you’re patient. I played this back on PS3. Does it even have online players anymore? They are an integral part of the experience, IMO.
I had someone with a super long scarf play basically the entire second half of the game with me. So fun to find ways to communicate with just the little pulses we had.
!Also absolutely heartbreaking when wet froze together at the end!<
I also played their other game Flower, on the PS3. Probably the only time I’ve enjoyed using motion controls on that system.
Fyi Lemmy doesn’t do spoilers the way Reddit does. The syntax for spoilers is:

My sister plays the game a lot.
She’s earned the white robe, and plays regularly to show other players around, and draw them hearts in the sand/snow.
That’s really adorable, thanks for sharing!
