Eight Last Signs in the Desert is an art game made in Twine about the joy of creation, the human drive to create, to make meaning and unmeaning, the overwhelming amount of images released into the world every moment. It's a guided rite to making surrealist poetry. It's a love letters to road cones.

Now, at the edge of the desert, the light of the image withers away.

“The man who cannot visualize a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot," they used to say, but the tomato, that brilliant Object, is sand these days, and nothing can be said about horses that won't fall like dry hissing to the listener's ears. Nevertheless, you walk through the sands.

• choose your path for the sheer joy of it as almost everything has been said and made and sold
• make words make love to one another, like that time in days of yore, before they were sand, when a sewing machine and an umbrella had their rendez-vous on an operating table
• they also used to say to "believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak" if that's of any consolation?

Thanks. :)

Thank you! We're really glad you like it!
