I love this game so much and Tape Dream.

Love the diner. Like Crypt Worlds and a lot of Lilith games the hyper-sensitive fps looks make me nauseous, but damn I love them.

I love your games, man. So ugly,funky and sick; I couldn’t get enough of Crypt Worlds. Keep on being the best person on earth, please.

It’s really funny how I assumed collecting all the masks would lead to something good happening. I mean, it took the most effort, so it must be the most rewarding, right?

Spooky afterthoughts: What does the player character look like? Why is the moon so close to the surface? And who owns the pickup truck?

I’ve worked in a place rather like BURG before, and I sympathize greatly with that moan.

when playing lilith’s games I always imagine that there are always some secret endings or paths triggered by an improbable set of actions: collecting all the masks in a particular order; taking the book and making it over to where the face-pearl is in the building opposite without getting caught; interacting with the burger flipper exactly 128 times and then unlocking the door; &c.

Part of this is probably osmosed from the way that lilith talks about being fascinated by OoT glitches (above) – something that I still find marvellous when I watch speedruns today – and the presence of cerain iconic symbols (like Mew in Crypt Worlds). Part of this probably comes from the environments themselves – the huge open worlds which suggest that continued exploration and investigation will yield fruit; also the strange patterns and logic of the game-world artifacts (like the paintings) which suggest something “just outside reach”.

Anyway this game is pretty rad

Agreed, though most goosebump-giving for me was coming over the crest of a hill and having that endlessnessedness revealed to me that way (hi mno).

This is a lot like Tape Dream, but bigger. Love it. Feels very much like inhabiting the author’s dreams. Three endings, I believe.

The plants filling the landscape are powerful to me. The way they turn slightly as you move your view up and down gives an uneasy feeling. Most goosebump-giving is hitting the invisible debug box, and seeing the fields continue on further than is visible, and seeming to creep up on, but never actually touching, the straight road.

i think this might be my favourite Lilith work yet. very powerful somehow, hard to explain exactly why.
