I'm always a huge fan of anything that is reaching towards interacting with the unknowable. This game is a great example of two beings with vastly different lives and frames of reference suddenly having to find a way to communicate. This is also a great inversion of how I had originally imagined the "Interview a worm in real life" challenge. I was thinking it in the context of the vastly large human asking an earthworm questions, but here it is the vastly large wyrm being asked questions.
The game system itself is great. It really lends itself to the strange way these two being would have to interact. The ink blots especially are a great way of abstracting how strange their interactions would be.
I really like the illustration work as well. The background image is great, though it is a tiny bit distracting when trying to read it all laid out on a screen. This probably wouldn't even be a problem if it was printed and folded.
