Gameplay Overview

The game has been classified as an art game and requires the player to pull apart and reconstruct a poem by clicking on a number of words contained within it, changing its narrative meaning piece by piece. [2] Kevin Veale has referred to it as an example of "interactive cinema." [1]

Reception

The game was chosen as a finalist for the Nuovo Award for innovative games at the 2010 Independent Games Festival and also chosen for the Experimental Gameplay Workshop in 2009. [3] [4] Gus Mastrapa of the website The A.V. Club called it "imaginative" but called the nostalgia-inducing graphics "heavy-handed". [5]
