Of all the "vaporware" levels that took >5 years but did eventually come out, this one is probably the most worth the wait. Brilliantly executed and unique theme capturing the aesthetic of a partially-used basement workshop. I can imagine Alice working on her dolls late at night in one of the brighter rooms, while some of the others are just about unexplored. The use of lighting is definitely the strongest factor for why it works so well, often coming from dim sources or from single directions and varying from part to part as mentioned, but there are other reasons. The 2017 structuring and gameplay feels like a perfect fit, itself being old and simple, and the tilted backgrounds give a sense that you're on a crooked platform like an old shelf or drawer. Really well done.
