Ooh, I enjoyed this! ✨ I've got a soft spot for Victorian Gothic stories, and this is a charming steampunk-flavored iteration on the genre. I quite like how the character sprites are handled--while incredibly pared-back, it's expressive, stylistically unique, and still perfectly serves to reflect the emotions and actions of the characters. Delightful as Arabella and Jack are, I'm particularly fond of Eyre, whose physical descriptors (impractical, pinpoint feet and hands, the paradox of her limited speech) feel like an especially incisive representation of women's treatment during (...and before, and after...) the Victorian era.
I'm happy with the ending I received, where Eyre now lives happily ever after with Bronte as a self-sufficient (robo)cat-(robo)lady. 💚
