Pretty words but complex; a difficult life at court, August 5, 2023This is a game that is styled in loving detail, written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.
It describes in elliptic and complex language a person who has arrived at court and must carefully navigate the political systems and other intricacies.
The text is simultaneously rich and difficult to understand. For instance, here are two sentences (not set in stone; both can be changed with cycling options):
(Spoiler - click to show)Overwhelming in its capacity for promises as binding as fingers through water. Bloodless as the art she would learn soon enough to become to survive the court’s pleasure.
These sentences are both descriptive and grammatically correct, but due to their nested phrases and clauses it becomes difficult to figure out the meaning.
Overall, it presents an interesting setting.
Esme is an up-and-comer entertainer, trying to claw her way to a position in court, using her wits but mainly her beauty to be remembered. At this point in time, she relies on her patron to secure her standing with the court, even if it pains her soul and pride.
The writing does a wonderful job at burning the rage Esme feels, and how dedicated she is to achieve her goals, on the page. Almost in an animalistic way…
I'm too stupid to write a review, August 5, 2023I barely understood a word of this story!
