The premise, in the publisher's words
Take part in a collective rite of putrefaction. In a wounded world, you're dying. Venice - frail, alien, abandoned - welcomes you in your last moments. Experience memories of death in Venice's past through six game poems across the city's sestiere districts: a death of biodiversity, a death of institutions, of community... then ponder your feelings on endings and change, talk it out with the city herself. It's all either of you has left. Venice and its lagoon are dying. This game is for them, and for the Venetians who resist.
