You have of course been to the beach, but have you ever considered the two paths that there lie before you? One, is to sunbathe. Keeping yourself within the understood. Perhaps it is boring, but not enough for it to be an issue. Should you be the type of person inclined to choose this option. The calm of predictability is after all what you are seeking. The boredom and sanity are one, in this sense. If that's the case, I don't know that this game has much to offer you (beyond a shift in perspective you currently don't desire). The other option, is to venture out into the water. Will it be cold at first? Most definitely. That is what keeps some sunbathing, I think. Will you grow accustomed to the cold? In part, but always it will return, your body telling you that, should you stay too long, you will depart completely. Why do it then? Why venture into the painful & deadly? That which may only be endured, not enjoyed? Conviction. Conviction that the suffering will yield something, with an immense value. The belief that you can do much more than mere pleasure would limit your capacity to. That there is a purpose that lies beyond yourself , your creed , your capacity . And so, in striving for it, you will incorporate it, and be worth all the more. If this is your dream, if you feel a deep stirring within as you understand the meaning of these words, then -just as it does for me- The Old City calls for you. Heed its call; let Leviathan bolster your being, so that Nineveh may be cured. What other path is there? Not one worth pondering, surely... The unclean waters are a heavy burden to shoulder alone, without ice. The exploratory narrative and pages intentionally left blank (to let the intensity of the former breathe) may admittedly interrupt the flow and lead to tedium, if one is not sufficiently in tune with the games dense and poetic prose (and falling out of tune is a tragic and fairly frequent possibility). It should be approached as a scavenger hunt instead of as a sermon, I'd ironically preach. And if one is unwilling to engage with some rather dark and gruesome themes, then one best steer clear. Though I would uninvitedly caution you from closing your eyes too much: those dark sights hold beauty in abundance too. A rosary and love letter to the agnostic spirit, The Old City: Leviathan is a philosophical and spiritual work that appears masterful in symbols and rich in meaning. An experience that calls for me to return and wander, both in body and mind.
Have very fond memories of this one. Considered looking into starting working as a video game photographer while playing this game, lining up the camera angle to capture the beautiful renders. Reminded me of a song, "Find me and follow me through corridors" - (by the band) Franz Ferdinand ‧ 2004
