Exemplary masterpiece.
Possibly the most tantalising 'goodies behind a crack in the door' ever. The classic Koohoo totem messages are pitch-perfect and round out a great organic, holistic serenity to the environment — the place has its own meaning. Progression is thought provoking & delightful but never obnoxious: a shining example of how the ingenuity of such challenges needn't rest on vulgar difficulty of challenge. This is particularly salient and obvious with regard to the platforming challenges: a joy to decipher and accomplish without demanding inordinate skill to achieve. Most surprising for a map of this complex verticality and indirection, traversal is never a slog, and everything connects back swiftly and elegantly with no filler moments — all the more delightful for the fact it defies easy rationalisation in the first instance; a huge sense of satisfaction in post-hoc exploration. Everything is beautiful but in particular I really appreciated the lovely brushwork — broken blocks, angled steps — all roughage consummately hand-finished, no detail perfunctory, every view on every scene beautiful in its own right.
