My favorite aspect is the music, I regularly listen to the OST while working: https://youtu.be/tqMuvFEKCOk

I've played a decent amount (never finished it), but I never understood why people say it's a horror game?

A friend of mine explained that there are overlapping phobias of water and deep dark spaces that this game triggers; he said it's unbearable to play the later levels.

I just checked what the final boss looks like, combined with the phobias... glad I didn't finish the game as a kid.

Thanks for the article, great read!

I'd imagine anyone with claustrophobia would struggle with the last couple levels as well since they're essentially a battle against the screen crushing you.
