Oh, this made me teary-eyed alright.
The story, through the writing felt foggy, confused, grieving. Appropriately, the art showed only parts of the lighthouse, the fog, and an infinitely blank horizon. And then the fog clears, and we see more of the picture, literally and metaphorically, and that moment of realization and clarity was just *chef's kiss*
There was this massive feeling of catharsis when the image zoomed out and revealed that it was more than a quiet, empty lighthouse, and the great unforgiving ocean. See the parts of the picture we couldn't see before was a feeling i couldn't quite express, and especially the realization that we weren't alone was so cathartic and wonderful.
I chose to look at the left first, when I did, a part of me worried that looking to the right would only yield an open emptiness, but I'm glad both routes lead towards catharsis.
The art is wonderfully atmospheric, and so is the soundscape!
Amazingly done, thanks for making this!
