Marbles On Glass

(hɨraɪ̯θ), noun | A Welsh, untranslatable feeling, hiraeth is loosely described as a homesickness for a home you cannot return to anymore or a place, which never even existed. Connotations of sadness, yearning, profound nostalgia, and wistfulness are imbued into the state of hiraeth. Overall this beautiful, but painful longing is a an expression of an empty desire and grief over a past life or place. It is the ultimate signifier of a bond which has ceased to exist.   (via mirroir)

I took a look at the game while at GDC in San Francisco. It’s a really neat concept, and so far the execution seems to be keeping pace. The basic idea is that every character operates on their own schedule in the game’s world, stuck on a path of predetermined doom by their cackling, pointy mustached god. As Ophelia, you gather information and interact with people to change their stories—to, say, stop Hamlet from murdering Polonius and, you know, pretty much everyone else from dying.

And then eventually I have involuntarily stepped away from it again.
