Ok. Longer, proper review this time instead of one sentence. Still not gonna talk about the GP and visual sync bc they're not what I actually want to talk about with this level, but just know they're the only reasons this isn't a 1/10. Now, with that out of the way...

This level doesn't understand the concept of "show, don't tell". This is already one of the worst things you can do to a level and it makes me cringe every time I see one fail at this basic task (and before you accuse me of doing anything in my own levels, the point was to be intentionally blunt). Hopefully it doesn't require much explanation to see why the GIANT GLOWING TEXT TELLING YOU WHAT EMOTIONS THE CREATOR FEELS kinda kills the mood.

But wait! There's more!

This level ALSO struggles with the concept of "tell". What is the message here? I'm getting mixed signals.

Is it "people dying is sad"? Frankly I don't know why you would ever feel the need to tell me that, and furthermore this level makes it seem incredibly simple. This feels like it was created by an alien who was trying to understand human concepts of grief only based off a funeral.

Is it "never kill yourself"? The ending says "The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason you held on for so long"... WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THIS IN (presumably) A LEVEL ABOUT THE REASON YOU HELD ON DISAPPEARING? If that's indeed the case, I really have no choice but to conclude that the message of this level is "kill yourself"
