Lyrics
Come closer and see

See into the trees

Find the girl

If you can

Come closer and see

See into the dark

Just follow your eyes

Just follow your eyes



I hear her voice

Calling my name

The sound is deep

In the dark

I hear her voice

And start to run

Into the trees

Into the trees



Suddenly I stop

But I know it's too late

I'm lost in a forest

All alone

The girl was never there

It's always the same

I'm running towards nothing

Again and again and again and again ...

Ooooh, this is wonderful! It flows together so well, and is so creepy and melancholy, and just perfect for the game!

[kiki_miserychic]

I like how the music fits so well with the visuals and I love your pacing, especially how you handled the part where it picks up towards the end.

[caramarie]

Very stylish, and the song works so well for it -- the mood is perfect.

Also given how much I died in this game, I very much appreciated the death montage *solemn face*.

[cupidsbow]

What a brilliant song choice! This is atmospheric and melancholy and fantastically well watched to the visuals.

[mithborien]

Festividder, this was awesome!!! Thank you so much for making it for me. The song choice was great, very fitting for the source. The way you transitioned between scenes was great, I especially liked it around ~0.39. And the death montage was awesome!

An amazing vid, thank you again!

[ghost_lingering]

Oh! This is gorgeous -- and beautiful and lovely and all sorts of other words in that vicinity. Simple, but it works really well, visually just a joy. Definitely will be rewatching!

[goodbyebird]

Love your musicality here =)

[jetpack_monkey]

This is creeptastic and lovely at once. I love the way you just hold on the boy as he pulls himself up at the end, heading into the darkness once more.

[futuransky]

This is beautifully haunting. The "again and again and again and again" line at the end is so apt for a video game vid!

[valoise]

What a magical looking vid. It kind of makes me want to play the game and I'm not a gamer at all.

[felis]

Oooh, I don't actually know the source, but I really love this vid! The song choice seems fantastic, the atmosphere together with the beautiful visuals is just lovely, and you immediately had me hooked, following the narrative, wanting to see what's next. Really like the pace, and then the last verse, and the way you end on a fade to black while we still hear him running in the forest...

[leanwellback]

I am totally unfamiliar with the source, but that was a beautiful vid! The visuals match with the song so perfectly, there's such a gorgeously creepy atmosphere to it. The "again and again and again" bit with all the fails were so spot on for the frustration of gaming and for the sense of futility and then ending on him heading back into the forest... perfect :D

[echan]

Such a hauntingly charming song for this! 'Follow your eyes', perfect. And the spider coming out on the buzz sound!

[bingeling]

That was really, really beautiful! Your song choice fits really well and you showcased this game in all its haunting beauty. Loved it!
