I'm working on an essay about Calvino's influence on videogames and i've been going through loooots of games but yours stands out imo. something about your game really got to me (it made me a bit sad but in a good way). Thanks for sharing it <3
thanks! an essay about calvino's influence on games is a great idea. first found him thru the jon blow talk, and ye i really feel like calvino woulda been making games if he were around today, so many of his stories are so... systems driven lol. my game 12:44 am is also p heavily calvino inspired if ur interested
this was so beautiful. i played it over the weekend and it reminded me what i love about games (a thing i lose sight of sometimes): the pinprick of a feeling, an idea, making me feel something about my own life and the ground it shares with others. thank you for making it :)
woah thanks! most of the credit has to go to calvino for this one i think lol, buts fun scrapbooking stuff together like this... plunderludics adjacent?
