Gregory Weir of Ludus Novus has released a game called Silent Conversation on Armor Games. The game involves guiding a letter ‘I’ avatar to move over the words in extracts from poetry and prose, including William Carlos Williams and H P Lovecraft. The typography is is often arranged in Mario-esque platforms and the challenge is to hit as many words as possible whilst avoiding words highlighted in red.
Whilst you move your avatar through the game, parts of the text take on qualities of what is happening in the story. The word "moon" will hang above you in the sky or a storm of the words "sand" may fly by as wind. Very innovative way to read and fun to play!
