what a crushing, uniquely illustrative experience. Postcard from Brentville has possibly the most gorgeous GUI i've seen in a VN, and the art by ppilotco for both deirdre and kenzie is striking. not only is the game itself beautiful, but the story is as well. i have very little knowledge / experience with kigurumi, but this gave me a peek into what it could be like - how freeing, light, transformative it could be.
i have been following killjill's writing from her very first project, memento in morrow. it is so, so rewarding and sweet to see the growth from there to here. the prose she is able to craft leaves you re-reading a line to taste it again, and then the very next line will have you do the same. it's like a delicate course of brilliant metaphors mixed with genuinely gorgeous depictions of fuck-ass-nowhere towns, feeling like you can never belong, and of course, devilmaid cranberry.
i highly recommend not only reading this work, but all of killjill's other work - they are all worth it, with their own punch to the gut. this one just hits a little harder as someone who feels like a deirdre in the monotony of life and seeking an escape.
