A look at what is reality and what it is to truly live.

Very interesting, love the illustrations, some might find it a bit heavy on the words for a GN. Interested to see where Vol. 2 goes.

Very interesting story with beautiful art. It's hard to talk about it without spoiling it and I think going in, like I did, knowing nothing is the best thing you can do.

This comic definitely relies more on its exploration of concepts such as what it means to be alive, sense of life purpose, and the act of creation (oh and evil corporations, this time it's an Australian one!), than particularly rewarding story or character arcs. Then again it is rather short at only 185 pages to tackle as much as it aims to. Ultimately I left feeling satisfied, though it left itself open to sequels (nearly five years later I'm not sure it will happen, but I'd like it to!).

The art is absolutely beautiful, and I loved the story line, the idea, the message. A few of the characters were a bit too pigeon-holed/cliche, but overall, I enjoyed this very much.

4.5 stars!

I only got like halfway through this and it’s just so boring and unmemorable that I cannot finish it.

Promising debut for a sci-fi/spec-fic title. There's a lot happening in this volume, and we ultimately get way more questions than answers, but it's a fun ride involving strong female protagonists and sentient A.I. I hope the creators are able to continue the story because I'd love to see more.

 Really enjoyed the concept of an NPC character in a game glitching and making their own decisions instead of what they are programmed to and the resulting exploration of what makes a person a person. Also nice to see a BIPOC main character. Artwork was great - loved the colors.
