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.

I loved it. I've been a fan of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock for a while, and was delighted to play that level. 5/5

I would like this a lot more if it didn't keep freezing in the same spot. In The Nameless City, right where it says "...rough sandstorms had long effaced any carvings which may have..." and that's as far as I can get. I die as I leap from that section, but then I respawn in the middle of a sentence and can't move.

rework the level design and the collision detection and you may have a game that is called great by people who are not literary nerds (English Majors)

I really rather enjoy this game. However, the red floating words are quite annoying. I tried getting that one sentence in the Nameless City where it's got 3 red words surrounding you. I gave up there. Far too irritating. I love the concept tho and I would love to play more if I didn't get so mad at the darn thing.

Plenty of people have already begged for a sequel, and I know we're probably not going to get one, but I'd still like to beg for the rest of "Alice in Wonderland".

Stunningly brilliant,a masterpiece.The music was amazing,the poems were devine,and I read every word.The Nameless City was my favorite poem.All in all,5/5.

this is a beautiful game. It takes the people on this website who come here for violence away from the blood and guts and truly appreciate how beautiful literature is. Hopefully this game will inspire people to read more often, and not come into reading only by playing a platformer on a game website

Excellent, but what did you expect from Gregory Weir?
Also: put this and some sequels on a CD and sell them to schools. You are now rich. Enjoy!

This is probably the first game i have ever played that is not based on gameplay or game storyline. The nameless city left me in a state of simple awe, the piano music was great as well, this game can pass hours without you realizing it a very butiful thing, im torn between a 4/5 and a 5/5, this game belongs in a genre all of its own, rare and buitifull.I am awestruck.

This game has a great idea. I liked the works included within it, especially 'The Nameless City' and 'Alices Adventures in Wonderland'. However I do think that the game-play took away from the literature somewhat, maybe if you included an 'Extras' menu with just the works. That'd be great. Overall I'd give it a 4/5, for creativity.
