So, I shouldnt probably do this on my ipad and I may run through the game again to take pics of this incredible art designed game but after completing it and my brain remembers this insane world I can't help but think about what it stands for.
I think there are obvious representations of reproduction and the circle of life but also that of parenthood as well.
We are clearly born into the world with no direction or understanding of the environment around us we are pretty much left to work things out.
There are some amazing painting like environments that show various blatant reproductive imagery. Sex and phallic visuals are abundant, corridors that are all like birthing canals.
Then there is the deeper metaphore of this creature that latches onto you which I feel is almost like the symolisation of a parent, are they guiding you, influencing you in this world to understand it but periodically restricting your own individual growth and getting there grips around you, almost attacking your body from the inside.
This culminates in the offspring (you) almost finding your own way in the world and freeing yourself by breaking free of this influence that may have assisted but ultimately stifled you....then there is some representation of giving life back to what could be seen as parental figures but before this you do the ultimate sacrifice of giving your mind and body to this hive mind that could represent society?
before you can escape your parent turns back up again and stifles your escape or finding your true meaning/dream.
I feel like maybe the cycle begins again and you pass on your birth a new to repeat.
There's also some other visualisations that stand out that I think could mean something. There's a large baron area at one point with a large ship or structure with two large holes and various pods on the baron land...I wondered if this was representing the ovaries and eggs that are released but I maybe reaching.
Also feeding the fetus type things to create life juice to almost bring the pregnant looking bodies alive...I dunno.
Interested to hear if anyone else took anything from it?
