May actually release this first since I've just learned it's the 20th anniversary of the artist's death on the 10th, and we praise him pretty effusively, even if the gameplay and level design are dreadful (No need to elaborate beyond "It's the Valis devs", really).

I do think the level design "works", in that it's so mundane, repetitive and empty that it creates a sense of unease. It's like proto-vaporwave / hauntology? I am also aware that this is almost certainly a happy accident caused by the game being unfinished and padded to Hell.
