Hi Erkka,

I'm a philosophy major studying -- "officially" -- the Liberal studies of the entire Western thought. It's part of a bigger curriculum, and I'm fortunate enough to be in it. I have yet to read Maurice Merleau-Pontys but probably will next year. As of now, I'm studying John Dalton's atomic theory and a few more tedious authors concerning English history and the such.

I played your game today and felt so akin to it that I decided to hunt down its creators. Your self-isolating spirit is in the game's core. The objective of the game is not to communicate with villagers or to assimilate in some sort of role -- but to simply live, an existential art. What is impressive about the game is how easy it is to die. I feel like this is a way of speaking about one's own sense of failure while also speaking about one's own sense of wonder and excitement in the both the material and the spiritual. To exist, one must create/destroy and pray.

I'll be reading this blog for inspiration. I'm yet so young, but I feel the crushing weight of depression daily -- and the emptiness of my pockets. One day I hope to buy some cheap land and an unlivable house to pursue my real adventures.

Thank you much,
Sam
