the magnetic confession (ransom notes game)
constructing meaning from the debris of the alphabet.
the experience
this is essentially an exercise in found poetry for people who are too tired to write. you have a limited set of word magnets to answer prompts, forcing you into a kind of linguistic brutalism. ngl, some of the most profound things i’ve heard in this apartment have come from julian trying to explain a ‘first date’ using only the words ‘wet,’ ‘danger,’ and ‘mother.’ it’s raw, it’s messy, and it’s the only way to have a semi-authentic interaction in a space this generic.
