This is an absolute masterpiece! It deserves more than 5 stars.
The low res graphics are perfect. It wasn't just a style choice, it made the game what it is. I was looking at pixels but seeing a whole world.
The sound and music was astonishingly atmospheric. It's muted, otherworldly tone perfectly complemented the visuals.
The gameplay, like everything else in the game, was exactly what it needed to be and nothing more. It truly felt like a quest and an adventure. Using only arrow keys put me deeper into the game.
I'm amazed by this. I actually have nothing bad to say about this. The sense of wonder and awe is something I haven't experienced in a game since "Legend of Zelda" for the NES. Please, dear god, make a full length game like this. I reveled in every second of this. 3-5 hours would complete me.
