Eidolon #02

We join survivor Kurt as he asks the fish to please be caught before his campfire burns out. Then he heads out in search of the lake, wondering where the ambient acoustic guitar guy is.

The music did just suddenly stop and there's this sense of isolation it leaves.

Kurt eventually reaches a lake and a deer (not a female deer). It's not the lake he had in mind and his map doesn't have a "You are here" indicator so he has to figure out where he is by looking between his surroundings and the map.

He gets pretty into the game and ascertains that he must be in Washington!

Unlike Minecraft, food spoils in this game. Some blackberries and mushrooms go bad in his inventory.

Venturing along for a while, he makes another fire and sleeps in the rain. Yeesh, really roughing it up... We get some more poetry read by Kurt's radio voice.

It's pretty foggy and rainy now. Kurt ventures more in search of the lake. He reaches another body of water and walks along, talking about how much he's enjoying the game and kicks himself as to why he didn't play it sooner. The survival aspect is pretty engaging and not difficult to the extreme.

He comes across a thorny patch and stops to mull over the letter and map. He fishes more too and worries about if he's giving enough commentary. I think he'll be fine since he's really enjoying the experience. He quotes Smokey the Bear as he puts out his campfire :) he'll be fine!

Towards the end of the video he toggles between running and walking and ends up tiring himself out so he has to rest near a blackberry bush, even though it's still daytime. Will this mess up his daily sleeping and waking cycle? Tune in next time to find out!
