a witch's hut holosuite
Forest Lungs from The Nue Company is somewhat similar to Dasein’s Winter Nights or Norne from Slumber house in its conjuring of coniferous evergreen midnight splendor. The birch tar and pine sap are present but softer, less sharp and astringent than you might expect, and as a matter of fact, I don’t get any of the camphoraceous herbal medicine chest opening that you find in the other two. It's the whiff of the woodlands in your hair or clothing after you're already back inside. It’s expediently atmospheric; you don’t have to brave the forest path to get to the witch's hut to warm your hands at the softly crackling fire and have a cozy cup of gently spiced cardamom tea. You’re just plopped right at her table, like a witch's hut holosuite. And then you find out that this person is actually not a witch at all, you've made a lot of assumptions based on their haunted cottagecore aesthetic. It's actually just a local misanthrope fed up with the dumbass yokels in the village so they gathered up their amazing candle collection and moved to a hermitage in the middle of a forest and all of a sudden they’re like," who even are you and why are you in my house?? GTFO!" And that’s when you realize this wonderful fragrance does not last long at all and the program has ended and your're back in Quark's bar and he wants his 2 strips of gold-pressed latinum.
