wonderful! gorgeous illustration, prose, music, excellent use of photography for this collage-style moment. this game holds so much tenderness for people of the past, and i loved doll-frame-story as a way to explore the people who weren’t truly in the story. i also love the historical-except approach… the strange, matter-of-fact magic of a place where the snow never melts, and the trees that hold dolls inside. fantastical, made practical by the question of, ‘but how do we make any damn money off of this?’. and what that question means for our two leads. really lovely story. thank you for sharing.
