This game was cool to me for this reason, it has a very "true" feeling progression, as you go through area to area they (at least to me) did feel connected and it all leads up to you making it to the tower of dawn, climbing the tower of dawn, etc. I feel like alot of old school games (like Prey 2006) had this weird "tower" idea where you should start at a low level and the further you get and closer to the end you get you are "higher in the tower"

Ahh fuuck, I remember falling a lot during this sequence and it felt scary back then, height was too high xD

95% of the game, to see this picture XD
