#meromy

One interesting thing about using what's essentially a dictionary to generate the words is that I have no idea what could come out of this thing. There are words that pop up that I've never heard of before, words that I'm not even sure are words. Words that spontaneously comment on the process of the game. "Aphasia" has come up, but so have "apnea", "aspasia", and "Alica".

It's like throwing a dictionary into a shredder and making a collage out of the scraps that come drifting out.

A slight change: a new name.Based on some feedback, the core mechanic was a mismatch for the experience of aphasia in particular. At some future point I'd like to make a game that specific represents aphasia, but in this case I thought it'd be better to broaden the metaphor and make the game about memory loss in general.
