The poem makes this level really awkward to go through
What a queer fucking level
Does an amazing job of being uneasy for almost the whole time.
Will mainly focus on the parts that could be improved about this level since many have taken my words directly out of my mouth
The muted colours are pretty decent but it strays more and more as it goes on, becoming very noticeable by the end that less work was put into the planning overall. Structuring is a double edged sword since its super clear cut and the floating maze (haha yoreid) structures, and the blue cube part especially feel discombobulated without any supporting pillars or whatnot. It could be argued that this decision was made to ensure consistency however there is air deco in the form of squares in some of the parts which couldve been used to fill space instead of leaving it as dead air. The wave is one of the weakest parts of the level as makes a complete left field using the basic tilesets of the game instead of these super intricat pipe-like structures that attract me to this level in the first place. However overall i think the structuring is not the issue in this level its more of the occasional noticeable lack of middleground deco
My score being this high despite all the issues I've brought up should be an indicator about how unique this level is visually. For one the song is pretty much built to instill unease and the level heavily capitalises on this to elevate the experience as a difficult-to-describe ambient disquietude
