OHHH this all came together BEAUTIFULLY, it's looking fantastic! The start menu and GUI all really set this eerie tone, and I love the rain effect along with the SFX, it's very atmospheric. The music is REALLY well chosen. The art looks STUNNING, the sprite along with the CG, and the slightly sketchy style and desaturated colors really fits the somber mood in the city. The writing is excellent, with really poetic and beautiful descriptions along with fittingly realistic and natural-sounding dialogue.
I am really blown away by the sheer number of transitions and effects that were used in just this small prologue! It's honestly inspiring, and I am taking notes...it really helped the visuals seem extremely dynamic, and I loved all of the movements, close-ups, and different angles.
This prologue really serves as a good introduction to the world, starting with a scene that feels fairly mundane (although slightly infuriating) while gradually transitioning into the more horrific and fantastical elements. The writing is very visceral and "gets under your skin" in best way.
Looking forward to the updates!!!
