Shoutout to signalis, can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find it mentioned. It’s probably the single game that had the most impact in me in the last year.
Amazing soundtrack, story, themeing, and has a lot of respect for its inspirations whilst greatly building upon them. Chopin’s prelude in d is forever etched in my mind and this is now my favorite quote:

I’d like more people to talk about many aspects mushishi since I think it should be considered an all-time classic. Sore Feet Song is one of the few that stuck with me for nearly a decade now.
