Really enjoyed playing through this one. Strange, bleak, beautiful exploration game with some very entertaining movement tools. I'd estimate that 90% of the map is wholly unnecessary to the critical path—but it's just such a joy to wander aimlessly through.

It reminds me of the peaceful solitude of trying to explore Garry's Mod maps without noclip. You have the optional 'find all the secret goodies' objective to shape your exploration, but really it's just about figuring out how it all fits together, and how to best get around it. I think my one big criticism is that it's very easy to just accidentally trip over movement tools that trivialise a lot of the more subtle level design. Once you have a leafblower you can basically get anywhere with minimal effort, and all the careful little routes sort of cease to matter.

Still—it's very good. Highly recommend if you're the kind of person who sees a tiny ledge in a level and immediately tries to see if they can inch out onto it for no reason.
