    I remember this- I thought this was a great taste of creative freedom without adhering to any kind of game type, but rather a work of art to simply be explored, interpreted, and appreciated. Very nice work @Ascend Hyperion .

    First of all I'm gunno sue you!
    Second of all, beautiful stuff.

    The map got me really immersed into its setting, it constantly reminded me of other games but also kept its own true nature and atmosphere.

    The exploration felt completely natural and free, I never once felt like I was forced to go down one route or another. It was nice to feel in control and I couldn't help but explore more and more as I ventured deeper into its beauty.

    Its lighting was lovely, often adding extra beauty to certain parts of the map and overall it just felt completely unique.

    A few places around the map had lighting issues and could of used more objects but given the nature of any object junkie I knew that it simply just wasn't possible. In all honesty though it didn't take anything away from the map itself and the minor flaws were overpassed with ease due to it being an open exploration.

    I was tempted to review this but to be honest it didn't feel right, can we really truly put a review on art? I think not.

    Overall beautiful stuff, like nature itself it was simplistic yet astonishing and had a consistently heart warming theme. Great stuff man ❤

    Haha thanks for all the kind words. It's much appreciated.

    Trust me, I wanted to add more stuff but I had to break the physics budget and later incurred the invisible item glitch, so I had to rewind to where that wasnt an issue.
