[h3]About Unforeseen Incidents[/h3]
When small-town handyman Harper Pendrell meets a dying woman in the street, he unwittingly stumbles into a diabolical conspiracy – a mystery only he can solve. An unknown disease is spreading across the country, and between them a scientist, a reporter and a reclusive artist hold the key to stopping it.

A perilous journey awaits, and every step brings Harper closer to a cabal of dangerous fanatics. Before he knows it, he finds himself in a fight for the future of humankind armed only with his trusty multi-tool. Can Harper find the courage to expose the truth and prevent an epidemic, even if it means succumbing to contagion himself?

The Art of Unforeseen Incidents is a 139 pages PDF - it was a crazy ride, with ups and downs.
The style of Unforeseen Incidents evolved a lot over time, as you can see by looking at the really old artwork from back when work on the game started. Throughout the artist's studies, he did a lot of illustrative work and, being inspired by the work of Ian McQue and Robert Valley, he came up with his very own style.
