For a piece of art or a tool of meditation, the design of Mountain is... lacking or even antithetical to these goals. The initial moments are the best, where you're still exploratory, may discover the ability to sing, or even just enjoying the forest for its trees. However the accumulation of junk loses novelty and is actually frustrating to relocate or remove. Besides this junk and some hidden songs you'd be hard pressed to find on your own without a musical background or guide, your mountain is unchanging and always the same plain forest.

There is more issues, sadly. You can die randomly if the game is left running, which is neither fun nor relaxing. Even if you don't die, leaving the game running can cause several things to glitch out like running out of thoughts, items phasing through you, and losing what little functionality there is until you die to reboot the game, as even reloading it doesn't fix it. Finally, the "thoughts" of the mountain quickly become a repeating cycle of "I am <emotion> of this <adjective> <time>" which is a pattern so consistent and boring as to be distracting.

A hopeful but ultimately dull experience that isn't even relaxing instead. I can't even relate it to real life because if I want to make my life more relaxing or exciting I have the options to do so.
