Narrative: *
The total wordlessness ensures that this narrative is hollow- I could not grasp what she was "saying" at any point of this outlandish misadventure. I will also mention the lack of an ending. The protagonist just floats somewhere then an all black page -› full page where? panel -› all black page -› half black spotlight on earlier character -› another all black -› finishing with just a small symbol within all blackness. As you see, there's no such thing as a spoiler- I can't think of how I could!

Visual: ***
This is the type of visually expressive bd experimentation that needs a creator intro to give it any meaning. I typically enjoy her freestyle brushwork but this time she had me annoyed, at all times, about major things like what the bizarre head-shapes meant.
