At least I think that's the Heart of Darkness series.

@beatstrings Heart of Darkness... series?

@northernnarwhal Playthrough, I do not know what to call it since it is a series of episodes where they finish the game, call it what you want, it is just the term I came up with at the moment.

@beatstrings Ohhh, okay. The only "Heart of Darkness" I know of is the novella.

@northernnarwhal I adore that book as well.

@beatstrings I've read it a few times and it's a personal favourite of mine. It's really interesting to re-read and discover the novella's mild obsession with the ideas of interiors versus exteriors (especially through the character Marlow) as well as the juxtaposition of denotation and connotation.

@darkw00d Yeah, it's one of my favourites. Definitely in my Top 10 books of all time for sure.

@darkw00d It's genuinely one of the most complex pieces of fiction I've ever read. It's not only a mediation of the dichotomy of barbarism as opposed to civilization, but also a complex critique and speculation of imperialism. There's a lot to digest, and it's also worth noting that Joseph Conrad did not actually speak English fluently until his 20s and lots of his English prose is inspired by non-English prose, which drastically impacts his narrative style.
