I really adore the visual direction with it's mix of mediums it just gets better with every new project! My favorite part was the FMV interview going back to epic lore I can't believe I still remember. A world without mother%&$#$ galaxy is a solemn one but at least we have the explorer franchise
Really incredible! A superb multimedia experience! Loved the FMV segments, sampled music tracks, and tiny interactions possible in many of the rooms. Particular favorite moments were the "nutcracker" mentioned by the other person, the latelatelatelatelate show, and the bathroom (love 'em!). The textures in the game--apparently sourced from photographs, paintings, physical drawings, and digital drawings were composited beautifully! Many characters discuss sentiments that seem relevant to me... I felt "seen"!
I like how slowly Squop moves. It feels very meditative. I liked hearing the different foot step sounds.
Other tiny touches like a certain conversation opening up your web browser... I feel like it's been a while since a game has reminded me that I was using a computer in a positive way.
Anytime Philip Glass suddenly starts playing i know im in for a good time. The transitions and hard-cuts are just lovely, but the nutcracker-sequence is a particular gem. Thanks for the inspirations ✨

The nutcracking scene made me feel a new feeling I didn't know the videogame medium could conjure. Great stuff
