I was playing some clone of Prince of Persia, Prince of Egypt or some crap. So pedestrian I even forgot the name, an Android port of a bad console rip-off from some unscrupulous developer/publisher combo "wildcatter" who wears all the hats, then in turn is owed all the profits, save what the Frugal Pleigh Store takes for itself.
I really felt it, right in my gut, you know? Even though there was a lot of old static polygons, with bushes and other fauna that are 2D like street signs or something, I was really getting the atmosphere of the whole thing, really taking it in.
There was a desert. Beautiful sky, but the sand grains weren't so great. Just a swath of color, no wind effects or anything. Like they always do the optical glare "doubling" effect, like of a corona, a regular Corona Borealis.
I was in that desert, on my dromedary, porking him along, even though my character was soundly fatigued. When, wouldn't you know, but an oasis: but not a spit of water and glorious shade from palm trees, but instead a Whirlpool refrigerator, sitting right out there in the desert.
I got the dromedary to kneel so I could climb-off onto the damnable sand, and approaching the fridge, I could sweat around the door moldings.
