got up to like episode nine on aquatope, trying to remember why I dropped it. definitely was pretty though; I think it felt too out-of-this-world to be my type of SoL. interesting initial premise that meshed into an escape; and although I loved the simplistic yet beautiful location w/ emphasis on locality, the conflict explored felt detached at best, i.e. fame or getting good at new things, disjoint from setting
yes, that makes sense! the conflict/message did feel confused at times, like you said, so i do wish they had gone more into that. i think that does happen with a lot of SoLs, though, since there’s usually not a ton of plot.
