Picked this up randomly, and the art style is extremely stunning - especially the colour palettes. Each setting is given it's own distinct but cohesive colour palette which draws you into the world. The mood of the spill is so beautiful, like really bright and colourful but obviously still creepy and absurd. Looked into the illustrator and he has worked as a vis dev artist for Dreamworks which is awesome, he's so talented. The story I also liked, dystopian stuff hits different and it leaves on a cliff hanger, so I'm excited to finish this 2 parter.
