An odd little Twine game made for a WAG gamejam

Beautifully written and very intriguing philosophically. The other review has already done an exceptional job of expressing how great this game is, so I won't attempt to rephrase it. I had begun writing a separate paragraph about my answer to the game's final question, but I realise it is probably better left to each reader to uncover and interpret for themselves.

This story is definitely a philosophical adventure. Once I figured out the concept and writing style of the three levels of reality, I could maneuver effortlessly through the places and phases of the story. The writing style was near-flawless (I think I spotted two grammatical errors), and classical, yet modern (the author used language from Latin, to sophisticated English, to modern words relating to current social media networking). I could envision the main character and feel as he feels.

All in all, this story gave me an educational and whimsical reminder of what reality is or could possibly be. I highly recommend people interested in philosophy and different ways of thinking to read this story. You will not be disappointed in anything except for the fact that it ends seemingly all-too-soon.
