March 2025
Not to sound too pretentious, but I honestly never experienced a video game with this much depth, both when it comes to understanding the human condition, and as a critique of the state of our contemporary world. I guess Disco Elysium comes close, maybe. This game actually makes me see the world differently the same way depressing Russian literature did, and describes the environment of its creation the same way it did, too. I suggest recommending this game to snobbish intellectuals to make them see the value of our favorite medium.

To live is to journey through constant loss. What we once held dear dissolves, leaving only echoes behind. Yet it is these echoes that guide our steps along Route Zero. 살아간다는 것은, 계속해서 무언가를 내려놓는 것. 그렇게 잃어가면서도, 다시 또 한 걸음 내딛는 것.

I was sat up at 2 in the morning in the dormatory common room playing this game, feeling as if i was dreaming with my eyes open. I can't say I "understand" the game, but man i was FEEEEEELING it. It isn't perfect, but I love it and think about it really often still. 9/10!

If you're reading and wondering what this game is about, I can only advise you: Don't sweat it. Don't overdo it, don't read too deeply into it, don't worry about the right order or missing anything. Play it through blind and then ponder your experience. Pour some bourbon, if you drink, light one up, if you smoke, stare at the grass, if you have time. Yeah, it's that kind of game. I hope you enjoy. I most certainly did.
