Have you ever played a Troika! based p&p rpg? I kinda get similar vibes from these comics. Absolutely love them, by the way.

Not really. I do remember the vampires masquerade game, and I did play the original fallout. I think that's the same developer. But I'm not really familiar with video games. I think it's mostly my own bleak perception of the world, where the vibe comes from.

I'm glad to hear you say you enjoy it, it helps me going.

Troika! is actually a p&p/tabletop system, so a game played in person, between friends, and the source books have a lot of weird, kinda surrealist art, with the adventures in them usually having a similar vibe.

I get the bleakness thing, I find myself getting disillusioned with the world all too often. But art like this helps, so I am happy that you are happy that we are happy with it. Or something like that.

Troika is a fantastic set of work
