The atmosphere in the beginning feels a bit like the land of Brackenwood, albeit with less detail. It's just as ambient and beautiful though, and even if some things seem to get simpler with time, especially with close-up's on that one guy, that impression remains. I feel like the faces make it lose some of its mystery and magic... like it turns from that fantasy to cartoon, a bit, but the mood stays consistent either way. The world keeps turning. Days go by. Weeks. Months. Years? Not sure how long, but the mood grows strong. Very nice beginning and end.
