遊戲簡介
A rollicking, contemplative optimism simulator! Scramble and stalk your way through six stanzas of good old English poetry, and you too will cry aloud, "Well...it is something."
玩法說明
[arrow keys] -- move, hold diagonally to climb stairs
[z] -- jump
[x] -- use / examine / dive
[h] -- get a hint, when possible (usually by peeking at the next part of the poem)

This was special. Glad I was patient and let it unfold. I was initially put off by a few things -- the odd jumping, an interactive object unlike anything else and apparently without purpose -- these made the game seem unfocused. I began to see a pattern; my interest in the poem grew. I almost stopped (face-then-catch frustration). Eventually I tuned in to the logic of solutions, and just enjoying watching it unfold. I learned to read the pixel art style better -- e.g. recognizing the gurney. Many scenes (such as falling-to-kneeling) are well done, although early cartoonish jumping and later googley-eyes later feel a bit off. I liked the winking, though. A pixel font makes the poem hard to read at times - the game and reading compete for attention more than they should perhaps, given the weight of the ending.
Mixed reactions, but five stars in the end. Creative, well done.

Did the bird remind anyone else of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven"?

To those who have commented positively -- many thanks!
To those who have commented negatively -- many thanks!
To those who were not able to play it because of bugz that are hopefully now patched out -- :(

Not sure if it's good in a weird way or weird in a good way. Still, a good game !

the most wonderful (short) art game I've ever played.
