The concept is wonderful, using the fundamentals of typography to represent the story told well. I especially like the Nameless City.

The Nameless City affected me in a way reading it never has before. In fact, in a way no horror story ever has. Simply incredible. That said, I agree with Angryhobo that it was too long for an early level, as 15 minutes of that made me not want to continue today. A nice addition, in my book, would be a counter to see how many words we'd touched compared with how many there were in total. I think it would make the long levels a little easier to handle, knowing exactly how far you had to go.

I especially liked the Nameless City. Looking back on it, It's kinda like an metaphor for how my life was at that moment. Maybe that's why I liked it so much.

A very good game. I like how the idea combines the capacity of books, and the fun of video games. It has very good, somber music, and a lot of good writing. I've never think I've said this before, but I think this game makes me want to read books. I think I'll start with the Odyssey.... + if you liked.

This has got to be one of the greatest games I have ever played. Reading is one of my greatest joys in life. Thank you so much for this beautiful game. I was very sad when I reached the end. Please make another!

u kno with stuff like this you could maybe get younger kids into reading more seeing as in our future there is likely to be a grand amount of technology and all the more distractions so if you turn it into a game they might have some fun with it. btw loved the game :)

This game is amazing: I had actually read or been forced to read some of the works present, but the delivery makes this game far better than a teacher or book.

I like the idea about the powerful words. Because those words contain some kind of strength that captivate us more than the other words therefore taking our focus away from the "weaker" words. This was also an amazing experience and makes reading a lot more familiar for me.

Simple concept, but I loved how the tone of the poems was reflected in the levels, poems meant to be short and sudden feel like it, while poems meant to be long, full of danger and mystery feel like it as well.

Does anybody know the title of the song?...I tried searching for Photo theme but none of Antony Raijekov's songs sounds like this soundtrack

The platforming aspect of this game was so annoying I decided to just get out my lovecraft compendium to read part 2 of the nameless city.

After such a masterpiece, I have no words left. Even if I had words to say, they pale in comparison to the point of which, they are not even worth saying. 5/5

I was enjoying reading it but as a bit of a perfectionist I couldnt bear to leave words untouched after being struck by the strong words... Rage quitted haha. 2/5

I love how the the environment reflects what is going on in the story, and the platforming difficulty makes my heart race just as the character's heart races during a scene. This game is simply too beautiful to not get a 5/5 rating.

Too many bugs! Especially in a wonderful Story like the nameless city. Ruins the game, when (e.g.) part 2 is almost finished with an A, but then I fall off the screen in blackness and cannot move anymore, so have to redo the whole level?? (Same happens for part 3, where I fall offscreen, then the text vanishes, and nothing ever happens furthermore).
I gave the Game 5/5 to begin with, but now, I updated my rating to 3/5 because of this. What a shame :(

Considering this is a game about reading, I think most of the game's constituents should be fine with a short story by the great HP Lovecraft.

Got a light headache from reading the blurry text but, still, that wouldnt stop me from reading "The Nameless City". Nice concept.
