Small, yet vivid and well-paced- this thing does not drag. Plotting may be a tad thin, as the turns and reveals aren't necessarily head-scratchers, but it works and it's tightly controlled. Character writing is laden with honest pain, frustration, and tragedy, which helped with the energy of it all, I think. I do wish we had a tiny bit more time with Anji just before this tale (we only get flashback reveals of her experiences and wisdom, so the weight feels a little light). I hate to cheapen this review with comparisons, but if you're a fan of the edgy vignettes out of Arcane or Dishonored, but with some sprinkles of Lovecraftian horror, this goes down quite nicely. The world we traverse feels absolutely robust enough to stage this story in and overall, I have few complaints. There are a couple scenes in here that drip with cinematic sauce!
