It’s a pro watch! There are actually two versions of The King and the Mockingbird. The other release is an “unfinished” copy called Mr. Wonderbird, and they have a lot of differences.
I actually prefer it to the “finished” version. It’s more minimalist and weird and somber.
The environment of the totalitarian state is contrasted more strongly in Mr. Wonderbird. You have the grandiose and highly modernist towers on the top, a practically deserted and people-free environment. Then you have the bleak cities underneath the surface with lots of quirky peasants. It’s a lot like a cartoon version of Metropolis.
The finished version adds a lot more cartoonish and baroque elements to the world and it kind of detracts from the feeling imo. They’re both good though.
