I love this game so much y’all don’t even understand, I’ve been playing since 2019 it’s FIRE!

Perfect companion to the game! Tons of art I'd never seen before, as well as pretty much every single poster, painting, sign, and texture in the game. Would've loved to have seen the fairytale-esque paintings from the Garden District in here, but I'm guessing they were probably not designed by the artists. Really happy to own this one.
EDIT: Years down the line, and this is still one of my favorite books I own, period; I revisit the art often and am forever in love with the utterly unique aesthetic of this game. Whitney Clayton >>>>

A MUST READ for anyone who has played the game. Loved every minute of this, took me back for sure. Super cool to hear of the influences for the game. Turns out I love The Prisoner. Need to finish Brazil. Hearing about the deeper process for decision making was just so fun. Highly recommend!
