What players say
This is not a game, it's a pretentious art piece. It's not even an idle game where you affect the outcome in any real way; an interesting snapshot of millennial cringe from 2014.

I have had this running in the background for ages, And I guess thats the point. I just dont get this type of game.
A beautiful and strangely relaxing game. There's no goal, no pressure, and nothing you really need to do-just watch the mountain exist and slowly change over time.
