All dialogues are taken from pasolini's poetry or films.The music was composed and recorded by the author on a 7 string bass viola da gamba (seen in the photo). Music is a very important part of the game, it is recommended to use headphones.

Explanation of the events in the game. Please read them only after you have finished.  The game has several layers of meaning that may not be understood by some users, I have decided to explain a few of them. 

The first entity our protagonist encounters is the Dyad.  In Neoplatonic philosophy, Dyad is the principle of multiplicity. 

The second entity is the One, although it also has characteristics of a Christian God.  The One is presented as a putto, which is a popular baroque depiction of an angel in the form of an overweight naked boy. The One recites a poem about loneliness. It rise the question: Why did the absolute Being who by definition is perfect, have the need to create man?

The last part is a reference to the film The Seventh Seal directed by Ingmar Bergman. In this part, the player discovers his destiny.
