It is searching though. You’re searching for enemies to shoot, stuff to pick up, upgrades to facilitate better and more searching. You’re searching for that old feeling you remember fondly but can never seem to find or hold onto long enough when you think you have found it. You’re searching for the end. The Clear Screen. The Final Score tallying up all your accomplishments you did as you searched out the contours of the game. You’re always searching for something.
