can't say enough how much fun this game is. the ease that is changing the difficulty level, the replayability with changing that difficulty level, the quotes (i can't tell you how many times i've played through the theatre section), it's all a 10/10 for me

Oh how I enjoyed the slowness of my gameplay; just taking it all very unhurriedly, deciphering/absorbing every quote with purpose and contemplation; then checking out the book on Project Gutenberg, reading the synopsis, the introduction, even the whole first chapter; then sometimes (oftentimes) downloading its epub form, continuing the reading session in my happy place.

Then there's a clean user interface, restrained in elegance, giving off that timeless noble simplicity, neatly organised into several genres of classic literature.

This game is an absolute labour of love and it shows in all the fine details and the gorgeous soundtrack.
