i had a lot of fun with this one! even played it back when it was called backbone. i was like “oh this is a fun mystery with this animal detective guy. gritty noir style. love the aesthetics! i’m doing such cool things!” and then the horrors hit. And then the horrors hit harder. the twists are executed so well and there are SO many of them. the ending scenes in acts 1 and 3 made my jaw drop to the floor so hard that i still feel their impacts today.

people criticize the ending - which is fair, it is confusing and unfulfilling - but i didn’t mind since it was clearly setting up to the continuation of the story. i should play the backbone preludes i hope it’s as good if not better!!!!
