OH! WATER LOVELY WAR

That watercolour art style is prettier than ever, with lots of delightful little flourishes: we’re particularly enamoured with the delicate pencil marks you can glimpse at the edge of the frame beyond the painted area. If budgetary limitations are apparent in the narrative interstitials, they’re still wellpresented, with animated conversations captured within comic panels. They’re certainly far less static than Revolution, in which characters stood perfectly still to talk at one another, and much shorter, too. There may be a lot of these scenes – and there’s more beyond the central narrative – but they’re cut into manageably brief chunks, selected from a diary-cumscrapbook which serves as a touching memento of your journey so far. Skirmishes, meanwhile, are preserved as a rudimentary top-down map.
