Liv and Trev reconvene to put two totems of their respective forms in conversation with one another: Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves and Giant Sparrow's What Remains of Edith Finch; two works with many commonalities outside of the core premise of "what if a house was fucked up" (sorry I don't know how to do the blue text thing on here).

Liv and Trevor dig into the delisted but wonderfully dark and intriguing HEATWAVE by DeadDeadDeath -- check out the rest of their work, free to download at https://deaddeaddeath.neocities.org/index.html. This is a fantastic glimpse into a wonderful visual novel that is dark, sexual, political, and intensely different. Trigger warnings abound, so if you're at all triggered by sexual violence or abuse, it may be one to skip. But otherwise, a truly compelling dive! Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
