I have just had the most surprisingly amazing experience

So I was scrolling Scratch (please don't ask why I do this, I'm pretty sure it's self-esteem related) and I came across a project on Explore called "The Mast." Turns out it's a full-3D first-person game with a fantastic story and great gameplay. Its art style is consistent throughout, and the graphics were frankly unreal for something rendered in Scratch. The experience I had while playing this game was only surpassed by the experience when I teleported to Xen in Black Mesa. Yeah. It almost rivals Black Mesa Xen in terms of how it made me feel.

The areas in the game were somehow beautifully detailed and charmingly minimalistic at the same time, and it really just took my breath away.

But most of all, it was a calming experience. Unlike Quake and other games I've been playing recently (so, basically just Quake), it felt like a break itself, instead of something to take a break from.

I would highly recommend this game to literally any member of the human race, it's that good. You can play it here.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but the images aren't showing for me. Trying to open them directly shows an access error

You can copy and paste images from your files to the comment section and it'll upload as I learned.

Yeah, your images appear to be restricted. You can just paste copied images directly into your journal and they'll upload to TWHL.

As for the game, I like to play something slower and more relaxing from time to time. I've got a long running Stardew Valley game which I fire up on nights when I want to unwind.

I remember using Scratch as a kid and teenager. Such wonderful times.
