About this game Read the full description

what's a "leg³ elbow⁴⁸"?
That's a knee⁹².

Decipher bizarre combinations of existing word²³s
to define new words²³
that will be used in the bizarre combinations of future words²³!

In other word²³s...
What you define now will define things later!

↓

a lovingly weird game⁴
(that just happens to be about words²³)

re-learn/define the names of every-day objects in your life.
It will get strange.
Enjoy.

↓

oh god²⁵³...
that sounds precarious

You heard that right! It's all interconnected and there are NO WRONG ANSWERS so if you call a "chest⁶¹-shaped blanket⁵ skin⁸⁹ tailored to cover your chest⁶¹ and sometimes arms¹⁰⁴" an omelette instead of a shirt, then a pair of underwear becomes a "specialized omelette²⁵³ made just for butts⁶¹".

You get the painting picture⁸⁷?

This game is a snowball³² of your decisions. 

↓

featuring plenty to do!
and no one to correct you!

With....

  • over 700 word²³s to incorrectly identify decipher!

  • Across 25 levels²

  • Including collectibles⁷

  • And achievements⁹

  • with no timers⁷⁴, no enemies¹⁰

  • music by my friend Luke Williams

  • and really (really) bad drawings⁶¹⁸ illustrated by yours truly

....you'll be entertained at least until you aren't anymore!

You know what they say, "Life's what you make name it!"
(no one says this <3)
