A downloadable game for Windows

Muse,

Guide this poor soul to find its inspiration and write a beautiful poem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an experimental platformer where you use your words to move, the game was made in ten days with the mindset of just getting something out... Which was clearly done seeing that the game is out! I might update this game a bit, but we will see what the future holds, but for now, just have fun!

Windows hates Clickteam Games. So when you boot it up it will most likely say something along the lines of "Windows Defender thinks this is a virus." All you have to do is click More Info and Run Anyways.

This game has an issue with Windows 11 where the font will not be displayed properly, the font is not unreadable like this, just harder to read. I'll try to fix that in the future!

Oh, Thank You! (Sorry for taking so long to respond!)

Saw you post about this game on Bluesky and I had some time to check it out. 

I haven't finished it yet, but I have made some pretty decent progress. Anyways, I just wanted to say I think the game is pretty cool. The music is pretty nice, and I do like the protagonist's design. It took me a bit to get the hang of the gameplay, but that probably has to do with me not being the best at spelling lol. 

 I think of what I have played so far makes for a neat lil game. I would love to see you continue, and even push out more of that surreal and dream-like vibe in your next projects. Of course, only if you want to, I just think this game has an interesting style, and it would be awesome to see more of that surrealist vibe developed a bit further.

Thank you for playing it! I do have plans to continue working on this project and hopefully expand the world and try out some more weird stuff for it. Also, I saw your art on Bluesky, I really love your style, it reminds me a lot of Michael Mignola!
