this is a lovely little game and i find it interesting to play in 2024. im one of those who believe covid isn't over, but i can't deny 2020 was special. in my case, it was special in a pretty bad way. i'm sure i would've loved to find this game back then, but i think it's a very good de-stressor today too.

what this game captures particularly well is that feeling i get on hikes or simple walks, of behind in my own head. also this emotional state i was in during lockdown. doing things alone that i'd usually do with friends, having somewhat dry text conversations with them to catch up, having conversations with complete strangers, all things i'd do when i had the energy to.

ambiance is great too. sound is important to relaxing experiences. this was done well.

im kind of stunned to find out that it didn't make more of a splash. ah well. props to the devs
