This game’s intro definitely nailed it’s atmosphere. The first Cyberspace level is familiar but odd and slightly menacing. The familiarity of Green Hill, but looking around, we know it’s not. It’s glitchy and bits are floating around. The song also adds to this, especially with its lyrics “this is where the data is stored, where we manage, record, and control.” Tell me that’s not a little freaky. Then you get to the open zone, Kronos Island Mvt. 1 mixed with this rain is so perfect for the somber opening. Also, another neat thing I noticed is that if you take the time to completely explore the tutorial area and get all the tokens and trinkets, the bit where you climb the hill has the rain clear up, then in the panning cutscene it’s sunny. Then you get the blue emerald and the song switches to Kronos Mvt. 2 which is more lively. Together it shows that now it’s time to have some fun, you’re free, this world is your oyster and fills you with hope that you can save your friends. Such a well crafted opening!
