omg this bookshelf
a photo of a bed and behind it is a wooden shelf carved to look like a tree that curves over the bed, with multiple branches coming off it that act as bookends for the books and trinkets that are resting on the branches

a sepia toned scene dreamlike image where kate walker is walking through the woods from syberia 1, crossing a bridge over a small creek between massive trees. the style is more of a painting than a game. another sepia image, this time kate is walking down the street of the town from syberia 1, it’s pretty dark maybe nighttime

one of those movies that just makes you stressed the whole time, but damn if it isn’t beautiful
the 4k collector blu ray set of the movie Perfect Blue. the box has a drawing of a woman, the main character, shaded blue and purple next to blue leaves. the blu ray cover shows her stalker looking at her dancing in his hands. behind it is the vinyl soundtrack which opens up with the same drawing as the box cover.

great game
the moon man says: Hey, congrats on reaching the ending! Well, an ending. Plenty more where that came from. How about another go? Additional playthroughs don't cost nothing...yet.
