"You? Nightmares?"
"I dream that there are no more humans," he said. "They're all dead. The earth is white. The moon is still in the sky and it lights up an earth that's completely white. I'm alone with the mouse." He was speaking very softly and his expression was that of a very old man. - Simone De Beauvoir, Tous Les Hommes Sont Mortels

Fare Thee Well is a short kinetic visual novel. It tells the tale of an immortal young man and his wanderings and encounter with a young female singer in a small remote town/village, and subsequently how it shapes a chapter in his life and the people he encounters. It sheds light upon basic existential questions through the lens of immortality contra mortality (just like De Beauvoir did with a different focus and more intellectuality and sillyness in some of her characters, in her novel "All men are Mortal".) in regards to love, hatred, forgiveness, human growth, loneliness, solitude and the importance and necessity of especially recognition / anerkendelse--"anerkendelse" is a Danish word I don't know a synonym for in English, whereas German and Danish have direct synonyms more often as the languages are more similar; especially back then. I don't think there is one, but the concept originates at least partially with the German philosopher Hegel and his Master and Slave analogue found in his work, though it is a theme too, in the book as a whole, "The Phenomenology of spirit" (Phänomenologie des Geistes) and how it has been further expanded upon by, for instance Scandinavian existential and/or psychodynamic philosophers and psychologists like Kierkegaard, Schibbye and Kirkeby--by other humans in order for a human being to grow and come to understand oneself on higher level.

Art

I found that the music supports the narrative in lovely way for the most part. The character art is charming for the green dressed woman despite of the silly anime art style with its staple big eyes, though I am bit ambivalent about in regards to Emmeline, the rest are forgettable though serviceable. The anime style of the characters I find a bit jarring in contrast to the beautiful background art work, which is more in tone with the overall ambience of the writing and music and its insight and the "reading" experience the visual novel provides.
