The poem mechanic works really well and kept me interested. Most text based games aren't fun to read, but this one certainly is. Great job!

Wow, that was really lovely. I wasn't sure at first if I was up for a serious poetry session, but the game has a nice way of painting with very broad stokes and being vague enough that I felt okay with not understanding it and just going along for the ride. Great work.

Good choice of dynamic features, feels like a spatial experience which is appropriate to the content!

I played it again to check if the choices really made a difference:P and it did! Nice job.
