This looks so damn good. Hopefully the writing is at least as good as the art style.

The "on the road" combat system is also very interesting.

I am going to get it, it's pretty cheap in my region.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, it does look pretty neat. I hope you post follow-up thoughts somewhere!

I haven't seen you post in any of them but there are some Weekly Recommendations threads in the various gaming communities you could post into if you don't want to make a standalone post.

If I do write a review it will be relatively long form, and I will cross-post in multiple communities. It's been a while since I did a longer review...
