All Our Asias

The first half was nice, but the second half was pretty disappointing & got dull/uninteresting fast.

my first playthrough of this mostly solo melos venture, and a blind spot i was happy to finally correct. as a fan its very cool to see how directly this bridges into anodyne 2 by giving a first pass at various aesthetic ideas that are refined and repurposed later, as well as implementation of non-abstracted real-world concerns that are prodded at again for sephonie (to which melos also contributed writing, interestingly). my overall experiential takeaways are the compelling flow of the dream logic, rarely if ever jarring, simply a visual and emotional run-on sentence where u are desperately attempting to accomplish a task that ur one Waking Up away from realizing you actually have all the time in the world for and there's nothing to be frantic about. analgesic's games are always conscious of themselves as a constructed space from which you must return to reality, and are very careful about what they nudge you towards bringing out of them when you do...art is a Memory for far longer than it is an Experience. the lo-fi, sparse dreamscapes are interesting to wander, with a slight rigidity on your movement to invoke a lil texture, but ultimately they are a conductor to place potentially irresolvable ideas within u to be chewed on...placed within the context of "asian" experience, but these ideas will remain broadly relevant for as long as our world is so materially fractured. even an imperfect connection is worth something.

Estremamente lineare ed è praticamente impossibile perdersi. Le musiche sono molto carine. Per quanto la grafica sia estremamente minimale, l'atmosfera mi è comunque piaciuta. L'incipit di dover entrare nei ricordi di una persona in fin di vita mi ha ricordato molto To The Moon. (il che ovviamente è una bella cosa) La trama l'ho trovata molto carina ed il messaggio finale poco prima dei titoli di coda mi è piaciuto moltissimo! Lo consiglio assolutamente.
