waaay ahead of you

did the song

You mean to tell me everytime I leave the house for groceries I have to take a trip to the silent Forest?!? No wonder the property was dirt cheap

There goes my theory that it's not actually a looping area at all, but simply a large area of identical rooms (which an auto-map would give away).

crazy how simple wind noises could give that away

Great, now all it misses is a single room with nonsensical tileset lol

Imagine living right next door to an endless forest.

I'm still waiting for your atari style demake of Adventure staring SheepChild.

Now make it so silent hill uncomfortable ambience noises are added in when you encounter impossible geometry for the first time

Wait, one you get in, you can't leave? No no no no no no no no....

So do you have to reset the game when you enter without knowing how to leave or does the lass just eventually starve and die?

such a defeatist attitude, why not 'try to find a way out'
