This was interesting. I see what it’s trying to do, but it has something of an identity crisis. The story could be slimmed down pretty easily by cutting one of the framing devices or developing one of them a little more. As it stands, we have an unnecessary story within a story within a story that doesn’t really make use of its format. This tale could have had much more impactful if, for instance, we got thoughts from the MC and lost some of the info that appears to be there only for the reader’s benefit. Other than that, the sprites (while of quality) are presented in a very odd way, with two characters talking to each other AND looking at the viewer which ends up being a little unsettling. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this one well enough even if I can’t help but mourn its missed potential.
