It's like...a mountain

Mountain is an unconventional and contemplative experience that defies traditional gaming expectations, inviting players into a serene and meditative journey rather than offering action, goals, or challenges. Developed by David OReilly, Mountain presents itself as an interactive art piece that encourages reflection and calm observation. On Steam, it stands out as a niche title that appeals primarily to those interested in experimental games or digital art rather than conventional gameplay.

Instead, the mountain simply exists, evolving subtly over time with the passage of days and seasons. Clouds drift by, celestial bodies illuminate its surfaces, and occasional abstract objects or creatures might appear, all contributing to a peaceful yet mysterious atmosphere.

Should have one game of the year, over BG3 by a landslide. The mountain is the meaning of all life and existence, no other life simulator will ever come close to the zen and tranquillity of this is absolute masterpiece. Would pay $40,000 for this in a heartbeat B+C=P
