In this very short game, you walk on words. These words construct an essay based on the game creator’s experience of not being able to write a poem.
The words themselves are game objects loaded with nuance and texture. The meaning of a word or a phrase and its accompanying play sometimes match and sometimes oppose. This game attempts to find a new dimension of what a word can express, thereby contributing to an original form of poem writing through gameplay.
