I'm reading Malone Dies by Samuel Beckett right now and I made this silly little game based on that reading experience.
You can't win, you can't lose. Huge waste of time. :)

Excellent Playwright

I read a lot of Beckett's works in my college days. He was one of my favourite playwrights back in the day (when I cared).

While playing this game, I kept thinking of the old book about the woman who swallowed a fly: "He went to the window to look at the stars, he looked at the stars to dig the grave, he dug the grave to chase the rabbit, he chased the rabbit to clean his ears, he cleaned his ears to watch the chicken..."

Heck of a journey here, possumprincess. :)

Thanks so much for the

Thanks so much for the comment!
That's an interesting comparison.

I imagine the game must be especially off putting if you haven't read Beckett before and don't have any context. I tried to capture the way reading Beckett's trilogy made me feel. It's supposed to be pretty purgatorial and frustrating and confusing.
