黃鶴楼 (Yellow Crane Tower)

Yellow Crane Tower is a micro translation game, where you ponder on the meaning of the eponymous poem about the eponymous landmark you read on a plaque while visiting Wuhan with your family. Inspired by the mechanic of piele (from the first NTJ) and its longer companion Verses, Yellow Crane Tower allows you to click/hover on the Mandarin characters to reveal its English equivalent(s) - showcasing not one, but two variations of the final verse of the poem.

Translation is a fascinating exercise, as no two languages is the same, and seeing the act unfold before your eyes - with previously translated words changing as new characters are translated - is kinda magical. It's very much a layered process, with never, really, a definite end.
