This review contains spoilers

Some great tales in here, maybe? Three chapters, each telling a self-contained live of an artist and their struggles with the craft, their thinking of themselves and the world around them.

Even if they all take place in the same city, there is little trace of Vienna here (being a game of less than 5 hours, is understandable). There is, however, a strong interconnectivity between all, that grounds them in a time and place that seems somewhat tangible.

The final chapter gives all of these stories another layer of retelling, as people who knew all of the previous protagonists share some new insight on their environment and their lives. In the train where they all meet, it is finally discovered that they are all soldiers to serve in The Great War, a time in history where all those memories and ways of seeing the world could vanish in an instant. They end with that note: how many stories like that were lost in the conflict, and are still being lost today?
