So I've been eyeballing MirrorMoon EP for the past few months now, and it's five bucks today. Anyone have it, does it scratch that exploration itch or leave players disappointed?
I was curious about that too.
Its really fucking weird and kind of boring after about 30 minutes or so.
Then again, it could also be just the right kind of atmospheric game/environs that I could try out playing music over it, and it just becomes another environment to chill out in listening to tunes and just exploring for exploration's sake.
Kairo, after beating it, essentially became that way for me. Not a game/environment you'd expect having your playlist playing through as you wander the game to be so therapeudic. Sure Kairo's environments may be all cement-texture all over the place with different mood lightings and creepy background noise, but chilling out inside the machine rooms while listening to Daft Punk makes the environment feel like a strange, yet awesome, nightclub spot. All that's missing are people. One room in that game reminds me of Plug.DJ, since one platform looks too much like a DJ stand, and the rest of the place looks like if you add a bar and a few chairs, it would make a pretty happening place to chill out in to some nice tunes.
Lots of spinny. DJ stand is to the right.
Heck, I'd like to imagine the spinny device is the sound system projecting outward to the audience. Hell, I ever get abducted by aliens, and I see something like this (adhering to my imagination of it being a sound system), my main concern turns towards wishing I had my playlists on me at the time, and maybe asking if the the aliens have any beer or something.
Then again, I'm pretty oddball myself. Guess these kinds of games aren't for everyone. I just hope the price is worth it.
EDIT:
Just playing Daft Punk's live album Alive in there. Fits perfectly.
