Description
About This Game
A thread of three lives confront the personification of appearances as it grows from larva to adult.
At the dead-end of the future a telepath assists the embodiment of insanity and is marooned in the mind of a flea.
In the primeval past one quadruped forages for food as a sentient cancer swallows the last of Earth's living tissue.
Between the present's many crossroads a jobless coolie that cannot die kills for rebellion and revenge.
All this as a desire for sleep returns in the heart of existence.
