uniquely melancholic atmosphere that isn’t overloaded with cliche. I love the comic-book style inspiration and pop art colours, there’s a really masterful use of lighting and composition that adds to the storytelling even when there’s no dialogue. There’s a very cool contrast between the flashy colours and the story itself. I normally find 3D backgrounds very obvious and unappealing, but there’s clearly nothing lazy about this story, so I find that it (literally) fades into the background. I love the dialogue and its interpretative qualities. Ultimately, a lot of these types of stories end up as pornography with surface-level embellishments, but I don’t get that feeling from this at all. There’s a genuine desire to tell a good story, develop characters, and create a very visually compelling experience. I’m not very interested in Jo as a character at this point, but there’s a lot of potential for him to become significant in a way that isn’t just ‘the other woman,’ lmao. There’s obviously a lot more to the story, so I’m looking forward to his development into something a little more than what is (relatively) a flat character.
