    Riverhouse Games is very important to how I think about and relate to games as an art form. I hope this video brings people to the rest of their catalog. I just love lyric games.

      100%, this video is a little silly, but LaBresh is a genuinely incredible designer and more folks should head over to riverhousegames.itch.io/

    This video is amazing. A reminder that rpgs are an experience that transcend death and life. Shakespeare truly did inspire the rpg scene, the human condition, and the earth we live in it. Truly a significant peace of our time Aaron.
    As you concluded beautifully, "In the end, we are nothing but worms, doomed to repeat the cycle of violence and decay inherent in our circle of life. We merely Are, in the moment we find ourselves." What we do, are and choose to be, is for us to decide.

      Haha this video was supposed to be jokey but I do think there's something to be said about extracting meaning from short lyric games! That's what I love about RPGs, you get as much out of them as you're willing to invest.

    Dude, I'm spanish. What the f-
    It's not about being spanish (that was an exotic note), it's that this video is incredible. Being a joke, it's an impressive work and a perfect dissecture of Hamlet vs the perks of being a worm. Congrats, you're my new favorite channel, keep it going ^^

    Upon my screen you bid attention here
    With claims of games and stories bringing glee.
    Your words, so sweet like nectar in mine ear,
    Enchant, entrance, and endear me to thee.
    This essay starts with promise of insight:
    I thirst for knowledge, seeking info parch’d.
    And there lies my mistake and oversight
    As twilight fades on final day of March.
    Three hundred nineteen seconds gone to waste.
    Your honeyed notes turn fetid with mistrust
    As rancid lies bring rot and foul taste
    To my poor soul. So now, I warn you thus.
    Your dreams will soon be poisoned by deceit
    Cus’ I’ll make sure the worms have food to eat.
