I'm very surprised and pleased to see Tarkovsky mentioned here, especially mentioning little details that reveal how reality of the world you've created differs from our reality.
Lovely work. I think I need to replay it.
This is a very interesting beginning, would love to see where it goes. I have to agree with LightningMaestro, though, but not on "all options" - there are some conflict moments here and there.
I'm interested in this and will check it out after a few more updates, but there's something that confuses me.
It strongly feels like I'm reading a second or even third book in the series and that I'm supposed to know who are all the characters and their relationships with the world around them and with each other.
Otherwise, good luck with your work!
