Day 2406 (4 years, 235 days)
So, here we are. Dear Van Gogh.
One of the things I appreciate a lot is a small warning that the story will have heavy themes in it. Yeah, seems appropiate to add.
Still a bit weird to get more detailed human designs in Sky now. After all this time having the simplified looks.
But the season is pretty straight forward.
Going through the ages and reliving Van Gogh's moments from his letters.
I absolutely adore the style of the scenes. Yellow canvas with outlines. So you get to build the world as you walk through it.
And the actual colored scenes are gorgeous! They have a great atmosphere and the scenery is such a depature from the fantastical world of Sky.
A normal countryside. Nothing exceptional. Beauty in the mundane. Everything in this season screams that it is gonna be different from a normal Sky season. And I'm already here for it. ^^
Of course there is a role for the player outside of just witnessing everything.
Delivering the letters between Vincent and Theo.
And on top of that you get a full recreation of Van Gogh's paintings in Sky. That is so neat! Totally worth taking the screenshots to put somewhere! ^^
Absolutely enjoyed this quest. A lot somber. Especially after last season being a carnival. A bit of a mood whiplash but I don't mind that. Just great retelling of a lifestory. ^^
