The art and writing for this graphic novel was so atmospheric. It’s depictions of a bleak, technological future mirrors some of our own world’s failings and elevates the horror of it. The characters although limited feel believable and sympathetic, and through even the art alone I felt connected to their apprehension of the world around them. I would love to play a video game with this art style/concept. 🌿🌻
