The way this piece plays with control and impossible instructions is so incredibly effective. I also particularly love the use of tautologies. Lends this sense of inevitability and dread to the whole thing. Seriously, I feel like I'm learning so much by reading this -- about how to use the language of TTRPGs to deliver gut punches, about characterization, about ambient worldbuilding. I can't accurately describe the emotion I felt when reaching the end, and that's really good.

Also, thank you for including a dyslexia friendly version! This prompted me to start doing that with my stuff from now on.

What a stellar submission to the jam.

this comment really touched my heart, thank you so much for the kind words. this was my first time trying a lyric game and i wasnt sure if it really "fit" anywhere so im glad to hear it was effective :)

I also really liked the use of TTRPG language to create impossible scenarios and build tension and hopelessness and vastness. It's something I enjoy and want to see more of tbh!

thank you so so much! :o) thats wonderful to hear
