People said this over and over so I picked up the game a year ago on sale. I can’t say I like the “twist”. It just filled me with dread and anxiety, >!especially the sun changing color and getting bigger,!< without explaining anything.
So, yeah… As other comments have pointed out, figuring out why that is happening is the point of the game.
But also, yes, there’s going to be a lot more dread and anxiety. This is a much darker and more serious game than the art style implies. It contains some of the most effective moments of pure horror I’ve ever seen in a game. The ending, especially, is profoundly sad, and beautifully hopeful; an absolute rollercoaster of emotions.
If that’s more intensity of feels than you’re looking for from your entertainment, it’s probably not your thing.
If you don’t mind spoiling yourself and want to see what the fuss is about, this video is a pretty powerful summary of why people care about this game so much - https://youtu.be/Hr6WGu3omUI?si=qag5GchJp11Qk6Q3 (cw: frank discussion of a family member dying of cancer).
Absolute gem that’s worth every penny.
You don’t want to spoil any of it since it’s truly ever experienced only once.
I only wish I could play it fresh again.
I am genuinely envious of every person who is about to get to experience that game for the first time.
I’m just here to enjoy all the new content and memes they hopefully make. I bet a bunch of my switch-only youtubers make some awesome videos about it

I stopped after 4 hours and haven’t gone back.
