This was very beautiful … on my first playthrough, the random word was love; the next, phallic and labial; the next, rape and body with sister mentioned. I want to think that the game actually keeps count of how many times I play, because it seems to deliberately get more specific, however this may just be my imagination …

I like how the intrusive thoughts are framed in a mundane environment, it’s really quite ingenious … Observors with a close eye will also notice that the view will shift from first person to second person rather seamlessly in the beginning ( “I” vs. “you” ) I don’t know whether this is deliberate or accidental since tense also shifts as well. The whole experience is not unlike an abstract painting.

I’m now in the process of keeping a record of the words to see if I can crack the message, but there may not be a whole one to crack, unfortunately …

[…] my foot down. here are three games i think are among stephen lavelle’s most effective: triptych, lacrimosa and infidelidad. they’re also very short, so take them as an invitation to explore […]

This is some brainfucked craziness, Mr Lavelle. It gave me the same forboding, dirty feeling as The Path did. Disturbing and compelling, rather like a book in which you espy someone else’s thoughts and you don’t feel quite ‘right’ about ’em. Thanks. Do you live in Dundee then?

It turned out the file was corrupt. I just needed to download it again.

i haven’t heard of anyone getting such a thing. could you tell me something about your basic set-up? (OS is the main thing, I guess)

it *could* be that your monitor doesn’t support 640×480 resolution; I can try out a number of things if you want to investigate, but I don’t know of any particular things that might be causng it.

Is anyone else just getting a black screen?
