Awesome solid, disturbing experience.
I love the visuals im a stickler for making things be so incredibly crazy that details get washed out in strange ways, but the way you done it feels intentional.
I feel the story is talking about AI and how you cannot save the artist who you fed into a machine learning system, as the sheer act of feeding someone into it is the same as taking them to the meat grinder. Enough people repeat the process and all you have left is an echo chamber of caricatures of an origin long dead and decayed from the oroborous process.
Im sorry if my interpretation of the story is off or is just repeating something obvious, im not great at reading literal text in games. Yours ruled.
