In its press release, Moleskin stipulates the intended vibe of its video game journals and accompanying accessories as "a newstalgic mixture of contemporary technology and timeless paper." Each notebook is embellished with a custom first-page print that makes the design a little bit more versatile. The backpack, on the other hand, is incredibly functional.
