An interesting project. I like the art, fits the subject very well.
However, the intent behind it confuses me. The author states they do not care about if what they have created counts as a 12-word RPG, yet post it to the 12-word RPG jam? Is that contradiction an intended part of the experience provided?
Given the emotionally charged nature of the work I also find it difficult to seperate the context as it is given, from the central pages that contain the game itself. They seem to me to be just as important to understanding the overall work.
I would not call this a game by the strictest definition but as an emotional experience or art piece it gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.
Thank you ever so much for your thorough and thoughtful response.
I'm truly touched by your kind words and emotional experience.
My intention with the statement that caused confusion was not to disparage any of the things I mentioned, but rather, both my own confusion as to what this is and the nature of micro/ nano RPGs and lyric games, while thoroughly enjoying them, and that a huge aspect of this as a game/ experience was my connecting with RatGrrrl and actually making something. Kinda one of those things that fulfils its purpose simply by existing, so anything anyone else gets from it and kind words like yours are a very welcome and humbling bonus.
I hope that helps, and I totally appreciate the intro/ outro give context that might stretch the 12-Word RPG bounds a bit.
