I haven't yet gotten to finish the game, including all the secrets, and using many of the unused items which I ended the game with. But I hope I'll have the time soon. Or perhaps I should just leave this game where it is.
Given that I have only one review, and one review only, I will leave my best thoughts here.
But through all these many years, the game is finally complete. I think the first one stunned us all. I doubt anyone could stop playing it, and you continued its legacy through the next eight. Each one still somehow drew from an endless supply of mystery and filled it into the game, but somehow never making it old.
The conception of submachine is profound. I can't think of this game without all of its wonder tied in. Very few, and within those few, very infrequently has anything that anyone has ever created in a game or visual medium ever been so captivating because of its curiosity, and its wonder. But somehow submachine is more than that, still.
I cannot believe that this is the last one. Submachine, even at its end, still creates a universe in its ending.
