It's a beautiful game

They let me play a pre-release version, and we may do an interview at some point in the future.

The art and symbolism is interesting and very well done, but it's also a real game. The player's explorations via the cat involves some mechanics that distinguishes this work from just an eclectic history presentation.

Thanks for your news story on this, Darius.
