You know those games where you start in a limited area, and you start to think the entire game will be set in that area, and then "a door opens" and a huge world spreads itself before you?
I had first felt it with The Neverhood, but today I felt it again after all these years, with a similarly whimsical game, The Sea Will Claim Everything, where you pass about an hour inside a building with no windows and only a few floors, and then you finally open the door and you realise how much further you can go with it.
I am loving this, it really is a pretty little thing. And it has such an original and charismatic stamp and vibe, like the creators have been doing this for years (which they have, but not with this depth).
What a christmas gift this was, and only for 4 euro. Madness. Brilliant.
Have a good evening, everyone.
