About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for a slow, surreal memory-journey with a noir-tinged vibe, especially if you liked Kaili Blues; Not for you if you need a clear, fast, plot-driven story.
Pros: hypnotic dreamlike atmosphere; striking visuals; quietly moving undercurrent | Cons: slow meditative pace; deliberately disorienting plot; resists clear answers
