Very creative use of the tool in such a short time. Great art, the broken geometry of it really adds to the atmosphere. Really enjoyed the Obrah Dim-esque approach to the narrative. Theme hits close to home for someone whose country is at war and who has acquaintances close to the trenches. As far as I know their comrades care for each other much better though. People from different walks of life coming together in the time of dire struggle. I wish all of them resilience.

Thank you! We're glad you liked the narrative and art. 😊
Yes, the current situation in your home country definitely influenced our interpretation of the theme. When we were ideating on what the situations are where resiliency is important, war and trenches were one of our first ideas. We wanted to explore that often, the resilience against the enemy is not the only resilience needed. That mental resilience against the witnessed horrors (like human corpses being consumed by hungry domesticated animals) and amorality (like looting and bullying) can be as important. There can be an intense internal battle as well as the external one. And what happens when people lose that internal battle. That is also why we did not want to show any specific external enemies and tried to make it ambiguous from any real-world references or countries. 💡
Of course, we wish resilience, strength, and camaraderie for your people. Stay strong! 💙💛
