Was like "The Black Room", KLF's "The White Room" evil brother. With some Monty Python!
Sick style, big Madoka vibes in a very positive way!
I'm glad you're keeping that abstract 2D streak of ASD productions going.
It's really a treat!

Excellent work, you'll forever be in my heart
Wonderful release!!!
Quotes so many ASD-demos. Really great, different style. Music is great too.
Great music and visual flow.
Excellent work.
Loved this. For the first few seconds I was hoping for a soundtrack in the style of Peter Gabriel, but this was fine too.
<3
seen this on the big screen tonight and wow
ASD never fails to deliver. A true artistic piece with amazing visuals and sound track. 2D perfection.
I hope someone explains this to me one day.
Impressive Demo
awesome AD
incredible music
powerfull Flow
ASD you did it again
thanks for this masterpiece

So hard
i missed THAT ASD style.
and man i love that deliberate reveling in self-repetitions at the very best!

oh, progrock video ;] some nice visuals (love that end sequence!), Ive found vocal mix a bit annoying tho
@sq: You missed that ASD-style? But why? This gets perfectly in line with Metamorphosis & Midnight Run.
was expecting more Sledgehammer styled music, but this worked too ;)
Absolutely loved this - my favourite PC demo of the compo.
Brilliant!
Transformed and elevated my mood this morning. Great audiovisual storytelling!
@aMUSIC: Omg, we are old! ;o)
this was definitely something else!
different
Too much recycling for my taste, but there's no question this is high quality work. Always liked the 2D ASD stuff.
who knew that you can still make demos without a trillion particles flying around in 2024 ;) A very welcome surprise in the compo
Masterpiece! Love 2D Style and music. The guitar solo is so good.
And nice storytelling. Finally Sisyphus lives happily.

Very liked it. Even if there were some WTF moments about the content, but I like it anyway and the whole ASD style, it's just awesome. Also the style used from older demos, also a lot of objects and stuff that brought memories back about older demos like Midnight run etc. Ohh this was really 16 years ago ?
.
Music is really not my cup of tea, but everything is obviously top notch. I liked the last silhouetted part the best.
somehow met the impossible challenge of a sequel... bravo!
insane
Lovely! The music is great!
Well, OK, this was unexpected. At least ASD is never afraid of doing things different—to begin with, I wondered if this was a joke prod or something, but it seems to be quite serious, and I'm sure there's symbolism in there again that I don't quite get. It doesn't quite move me, though, and I found myself a bit… bored?
Also, I am at a loss as of why this recommends a RTX 3000-series GPU. Am I missing some fancy stuff in the background?

Already thumbed up above. I can confirm: Smooth and no problems with my 5 year old PC with GTX 1080 card.
Gorgeous style and beautifully polished as usual
marvellous! the demoscene needs such works of art more regularly :-)
ASD - awesome stylish demo? or a music video?
visually very good - and that 90's mtv rock look & feel is nice and obvious, but damn i personally cannot stand ASD sound at all..
Love the style, the music, everything.
Too fresh and unique to win the compo, but with time will be the more memorable entry 🔥
Awesome work.
I love the visual aesthetics.
I love the references to previous demos.
Sadly the music genre is not my cup of tea at all, so I did not enjoy the whole thing properly.

Some Grateful Dead tribute...
Reminds me of those nights I've spent watching Alternative Nation on MTV.
Awesome song and great visuals.

Good old Sisupussi
Fantastic production, looks more like a summary of many previous demos than something really new. Is it a good bye prod?
That was painful to watch and listen
Unique stuff, really like the visual style!
aMUSIC, Navis: Thanks, that clears it up! (I didn't try to run it realtime on my 2070. Yet?)

this tracks p hard (without the monty python for me) good solid ASD style 2D demo. I like when y'all experiment a bit.
"And Now for Something Completely Different."
Works!
Works!
mind & soul overload ♥
Loving all the cultural references, both visually as well as musically. I just don't know how fit Ryan Gosling into all of this ;D (joke)
what a trip. so much going on on so many levels, impossible to put into a single feeling.
A narrative fractal of the asd universe.

The kind of demo that only ASD has the recipe!
Loving the music!
Excellent stuff. Love the style and the call backs.
Something that will take multiple watches to unpack. Wonderful.
2D spook'ems galore
Fantastic as always
ok
Awesome ASD prod!
bonkers, enjoyed the soundtrack. expecting something completely new and awesome next time.
While this is not exactly up my alley it's consistent and tons of stuff going on.
One minor "complaint": It really feels like the male vocal doesn't sit well in the mix.

Awesome demo. Leviathan riffs are superb and make the track fly!
i rather like the visual style, and the music was interesting too. bold / different for a demo maybe, a bit of a throwback to the older asd "alternative" demos.
but it doesn't go anywhere, it outlives its welcome at half the runtime, and the music and visual feel completely disconnected, so.. as a piece of motion graphics i cant say it works. needed a stronger creative direction to pull it off.

ASD - The music video. So much weirdness, in a good way.
And thanks for the soundtrack write-up!

Absolutely impressive how you created something that is both a parody of and an ode to yourself.
The perfect gift to collect your price for what is probably the best demo of the next ten years.

It somehow feels like the last demo has a weird dream, and I love it :)
Yeah, there's something slightly off about the audio mix and one could argue about the length and pace, but those are nitpicks. What sq said - very happy _that_ side of ASD is back.

Shady shade of good'n'old ASD. Still nice meanwhile
Too kitsch for my taste. Since this demo is all about the aesthetics and story that means I couldn't understand it, sorry.
Didn't really seem to have much direction or evolution and felt longer than it really was... but it's great to see this side of ASD again. I enjoyed the unique style and all the references
I wonder how you fit everything in 233 Mb, while competitors almost reach 1 Gb size.
An amazing production, what a great artistic piece this is. I second what lynn said.
I really love this! I'm a big fan of the 2D ASD style in demos! I had a friend here in Greece, who was queer and the things he told me about what he had been through and how he felt over the years about his peculiarity, reminded me a lot of what we see throughout this demo.. One thing is for certain, Sisyphus has been through, A LOT! :)
The problem is, by the time the vocals arrive, the visuals have shown all the ideas they have, and the rest just repeats, and it never really acknowledges the music (very prominently at the ending); musically I like the 90s progrock tone, the guitar actually sits rather well in the mix this time, but the vocal doesn't, and the lyrics were clearly written by someone who didn't think about someone having to sing it later - words like "deflection" or "attrition" are hard enough to say without having to follow a rhythm or cadence.
Amazing style! ASD is on the next level
Everything was okay until the vocals started. For me, this has been the issue with several ASD soundtracks even previously, but this is even worse.
Otherwise visually interesting, but feels repetitive, lacking clear progression. YMMV.
Weak thumb for visuals & design, thumb down for music.

The first watch was the hardest one and the experience was a bit negative. However, after a few watches my rating is converging to thumb up.
fantastic 2d style and a lot of things thrown in. maybe too many. but that excessive visual ride is something one might expect from an asd demo when looking back at the cataloque. the music is nice but overall it feels like something is missing even tho i don't know what it is. i'll pigg it i guess. but it is a golden piggie close to a thumbs up :D
oh, what Suule said :)

A remix of many older ASD demos. I like it very much!
great demo, everything here rulez, espec. love the graphics =)
Fascinating work! I'd love to hear more about the narrative inspiration for the demo! ;)

Did the same upscale to 4K 60 fps.
Much fun!

ASD demos are rather far from my taste, and end up being very hit and miss.
This is a miss :(
