The way you go from an intense close-up of anonymous super-pixels to an almost wimmelbild-like wide shot of the whole environment is key to this game. It wouldn't be anywhere near as affecting without the slow-release satisfaction of exploring and exposing more space, in doing so recontextualising your character from the centre of the action to just a lost soul wandering a series of vast, dead worlds.
