-Shrike-

Where to start.. Well, first of all, I was a bit skeptic about the graphics by looking at the game's trailer for the first time, but after installing it and playing for few minutes, I just fell in love with the graphics. So simple, clean and well made. And one thing is for sure; If graphics were to change to something usual and main stream (you know, high res, super HD 3D models and sh!t), the game would most likely lose its charm entirely. Secondly, the atmosphere. A bit hard to describe but... you know you can set the fire anywhere (if it's not windy), but you simply WANT to find some kind of safety, like rock face, a steep overhead cliff or something, to set the fire or two underneath it, prepare your meal, repair clothes and just rest for a while. Combination of graphics and sound is responsible for such a great atmosphere, and for that, I never pause the game, I simply leave it un-paused and enjoy the feeling of actually being there, while doing normal stuff (like rolling a cigarette, drinking coffee/tea or eating). Third thing.. the music. Those unobtrusive, short compositions when you enter a new area, or start suffering from the cold/hunger/injury, are really something special. I usually turn off the game music when playing any kind of game, but for some reason, I've set the music on 20% before the first gameplay, and TLD is now the only game where I've left the music on, simply because its stunning. The whole survival concept, and the idea is right there (will need more tweaking of course, but for Alpha it's amazingly well done). And for some reason, although I know I'm only one inside of the game, I always have a feeling that some other person is there, on the map, in the forest or just wondering around, waiting somewhere or... stalking me. That could be just because of the constant fear you have from wolves, and the sounds you hear while inside of cabins. You know no one's there but... :? ( I know, you said "ONE thing you enjoy.." but lets face it, there can't be just one thing )
