Digital Eel makes deep games about weird stuff, going so far as to name one of their better games Weird Worlds. Then they went ahead and outdid themselves.
- the99th, Play This Thing!

Completely and utterly original and unbelievably addictive.

The subtle doppler effect on the constant and schizophrenic audio visual assault positions you squarely inside the game in ways that most struggle at.
