I can never stop marvelling at Aquaria's great atmosphere.  For more than an hour I thought it would just be a neat watery fantasy world, but then I reach the cathedral and my whole opinion changes.  It's just so emotional.

Well it's not just Derek that makes the atmosphere so immersive.  The music goes a long way towards giving the cathedral that creepy vibe.

I think the emotion is what really made me fall in love with the game.  It has something the Metroid games also possess which I like to call "contextual emotion", where you end up feeling a lot of different things even when raw story development isn't happening.  The world itself seems to tell you a story, or fill in gaps of a larger tale, but does so in a way that can move you even without being obvious.

I've just replayed the Cathedral beating those muli-eyed blobs yet again and it is just as scary the second time around even knowing that those deformed walls are safe doesn't make any difference I still want to avoid them so it's just got to be the music and the poisonous colours affecting us :D
