Koi also represent perseverance, since they swim against the current. To me, the koi being robotic kind of feels sad, like we went to an extreme to ensure survival, to persist. Through the fungus we live, but we lost autonomy and integrity in the same way that the Koi is a robot. It feels like the Koi lost meaning and therefore life loses meaning. Does that makes sense? Maybe im way off, but i found it a little depressing lol
Anyway loving this video like all your other ones <3
9:28 Finished the game yesterday, i loved the story but this one jumpscare made me jump more than any other horror media the past years, literally almost had a heart attack. Beautiful game, tho.
Great video! It reminds me of “That which gave chase” it has the same motif of a fungus infecting the mind of a group. The last of us, Signalis and Alien Isolation are some other games that I would guess also inspired the creators of this great game!
it reminds me a bit (tangentially) of hothouse by brian aldis, a far future spec evo novel that includes a brain fungus that enables humans (one human anyway) to have higher thought again.
I don't get how you don't have more views. I have enjoyed your content for probably over a year? I lost track of when I encountered your channel, and I followed it since the early days when your content was more edgy and less analytical, to where it is now.
16:00 I was under the impression that hollyhock was biannual (or a very short lived perennial) but that it self-seeds so successfully that it can be mistaken as perennial. Which may even more strongly symbolise your point to do with breakdown and renewal!
Always amazing to see you upload and even moreso to talk about a game I've been waiting like 13 years for - played it day one and I've got nothing but praise for it and your work here
the eclipse might signify the earth taking some part in the moon from the moon plaza and prism research center its obvious on what im saying, but also take note on the significance of flowers, and even flowers being in the canal.
and also the eclipse starts BEFORE us waking up, and the eclipse meets, and guess what chapter comes after the cutscene. where the importance of flowers actually start
First comment for the algorithm. You dropped this video just as I was showing our video on Rust Cohl/True Detective to a friend. I'm really looking forward to it!
Excellent video ! I love it, you have such a great voice for game analysis. I am legit sad to see other videos on this game have more views. Keep it up..... please !
You convinced me to subscribe.
Also i want to pickpoint a bit, just a small mistake you made. You were talking about earthquakes, they are called lunar quakes on the Moon. But thats just my ADHD screaming in my head. We all understood what you meant.
