This is a brief story that is advanced by clicking. Every time you click, words fly up of the screen and new ones come in. After a few clicks, the lovely background changes, and this repeats until the story ends.
The story is about some kind of dying being who is travelling with you and plans to be part of the stars.
It's a short, pleasant experience with no kind of interactivity.
Star Bearer is an evocative poetic kinetic entry, based on the author’s dream, where you incarnate a person bringing the body of a beloved to their final resting place. Each line is displayed one after the other, as your step move forward to your destination - one after the other. A wish of holding on to the soon departing clashing with the one to relieve others of their burden - the journey ending as expected, as requested, as wanted. Under the sun and the moon, one passing after the other, the prose takes us on this final voyage, with a promise of one day returning.
It is beautiful, both in the writing and interface. And incredibly smooth. Bringing upon a cocktail of conflicting emotions.
