    After watching the very 1st teaser, which was funny and had a humorous feel to it and which I loved, I wasn't expecting this game and I was hugely disappointed in the direction the game went, some will love it but I don't.

    The vibe of the artwork reminds me of (besides obviously Another World) the anime series Jigokuraku (middle episodes)--but simultaneously stripped back and turned up in certain ways that make it even-more-unnerving. That shot in front of the window near the city also gives Ghost in the Shell. As you mentioned, the animations are surprisingly detailed and nice, considering how much of the visual experience is also still. This looks to be a brilliant work of art--too far outside my genre to imagine I'll play it soon, but maybe one day.
