Field notes
The page lays out Part One as four linked scenes, with durations shown beside each title, and says playback includes sound and surtitles. Melcher credits himself for the music, story, animation, and visual design; he says the voices come from himself, family, and friends, with AI voice synthesis. The page recommends headphones and says Parts Two and Three will follow.
