Murder of Crows is a great example of a minimalist VN, in a good way! Everything compliments each other. Even the speed of the text & fades match the pace of the narrative well.
The B&W palette is layered effectively and sets nice mood. The backgrounds remind me of very old storybooks. Simple but evocative, even cozy. It’s a great match for the story.
The story is engaging without being too heavy, and the codex was a great addition. It’s nice to have the lore-delving be optional. If you’re intrigued by something, you can dig in. If you’re not, you can move along. (Also, ‘Magistrix’ is a killer NB title.)

This was a lovely little escape!
