In a game like this, tracks like Darkest Dungeon's 'Cove Battle' or Crush's 'Funfair 03 (B)' really help set the mood and tone. The music also helps a lot here, using songs from varying games that all feel dark or sullen. The game is a dark thriller tackling a hard subject, and though some parts get silly, the overall experience is very well put together. When Luigi gets on a train in one level, it suddenly transforms into a brightly colored platforming challenge across blocks, showing us what's going on very clearly. The Koopas may just be officers trying to recapture an escaped Luigi, who is trying to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom and find Mario. What the player sees on-screen when playing may not be what's actually happening, and the story helps that idea as it goes on. The name references the plot impetus for the visuals: Luigi has terminal brain cancer, resulting in vivid hallucinations. Terminal 7 itself is meant to mess with your mind.
