This game looks amazing! The metaphor did go over my head, and the words were hard to read at times, but that could have been the whole intention behind it. I really loved how it was told though, and it goes to show you can create an interesting game that makes the player curious about whats around the next corner with just beautiful scenery. Very well done! Feel free to check out my video of it below. The Water Cave starts at 00:55.
