I don’t understand. Maybe it’s for the best.

\n

The graphical style is interesting, and the instructions are fun.

Best “medieval mushroom induced hallucination” simulator :D

\n

Now more seriously - I have absolutely no idea what was going on, but I really appreciate the instruction for lowering the volume :)

“Lower your volume”

\n

How about you lower the volume of the game…

Curious, hypnotic, strange, memorable

I cannot understand if this is pure genius or just a random set of sound and pixels.

My first thought: “no, YOU lower YOUR volume!” ;)

\n

It’s like some kind of weird acid trip musical instrument.

\n

I’m not sure what’s happening but the atmosphere and aesthetics are very stylized!

Very cool! I wanted more agency. I wanted to grab it all and smash it together, twist it, burn it, swirl it around and shake it out, but instead I felt powerless except when I took control of my speaker volume. Nobody could take that away from me! My speakers have a physical volume knob. Tangible and touchable, I was able to wrest some control in my life and be an autonomous being in charge of their own life, for once, as this volume can’t be changed by mere software - no, once I turned down my volume - here in the real world - no hacker, no broken device driver, no 13kb of quality coding could take that away from me - once silenced, the moment was mine to cherish, my hand hovering on the volume knob of my speakers like the hand of a diety, the entire auditory spectrum of this game in my grasp, at my control, loud or silent at my whim. Feeling empowered, I closed the game, satisfied I’d learned the lesson.

Having the understanding makes for beating the game, an easy concept, yet to grasp the graphics by the hands. Dice you can click, and the numbers influence the plow, yet even then the audio was lowered and text and text and text. I like how the lines squiggle when things happen, so maybe that is for the best of us.

The glitching effect was really good, as were the surreal sound effects.

\n

It was nice to just watch the screen as time went on, no interactions necessary.

\n

From the description and inability I was at a loss as to how to influence the art piece.

\n

But thanks it was an experience.
