My favorite Visual Novel! Amazing work
I played on Steam, but I figured I'd copy my review over here, as well!
This is a really logical idea (animated retro comic), but I can't think of anything else that's pulled it off with this kind of dedication to style. Maybe not for people with weak stomachs, but a fantastic choice for anyone able to appreciate horror media in all its gory glory. Stylistically, very nicely handled, with great art that evokes the exact era and genre it's aiming for. The story was pitched snugly in the middle of clever psychological horror that builds its themes right until the end, and classic seedy splatter throwback. The creators could definitely tell a lot of different stories in this same style, so I'll be paying attention for more in the future!
Wow man, your work blew my mind. Definitely one of the best graphic novels I've ever read. I will be happy to translate it into Spanish if it is of any help -free of course, just to serve the cause so that the entire Spanish public can read this masterpiece as well-. If so, feel free to contact me at leonel@outergatestudio.com. Cheers!
