This was interesting. I can honestly say I enjoyed the illustrations more than the story. It starts by asking if anybody remembers this video game let alone the strange console. How at one time everybody was playing it, but nobody remembers it. The story constantly asks am I real is this environment? Is this book amongst the gameplay that is both wordless and you also have the players recollections of life. How he was with his mom or remembrances of his dad etc. There is this whole idea of what is real, am I real. I’m not going to say this was an easy read but I like the artwork enough that I want to see what this artist does next.
