Going down with the spins of the wheel, looking out for weird light sources and openings in the artery (assuming it was a giant artery), it was an otherworldly trip that had me engaged all the way through! I tried to go into one of the openings in the wall close to the bottom, but I think that was impossible, other than that I was looking at and hunting the different light sources, those were very intriguing. Before I noticed that I was automatically moving forward when there's space, I thought something was moving towards me when I was on the bottom, that gave me a good scare. Such a tight presentation! The ambient music, the art style, the gameplay as well, I think it all came together to make something great and memorable. Very cool take on the theme, loved the vibes in this game!
