In Elegy, you'll travel to three worlds and write stories about their long-dead societies. You’ll lose yourself in settings inspired by the works of poets Keats, Byron, and Shelley, and use the game's system of writing prompts to help create your own masterpieces. Explore 27 different writing challenges, through which you create narratives about the worlds you visit, from multiple perspectives. In one challenge, you play an archaeologist, uncovering clues and writing about a city's final days; in another, you're a thief, composing a song about searching the wreckage for valuables; and in another, you're a bard penning a lament in rhyming couplets.

- А давайте нарисуем несколько картинок, а весь контент заставим делать самих игроков, типа вдохновляясь этими картинками? И все это назовем экспериментальной арт-игрой и будем брать за это деньги?
- А ведь отличная идея!

Sencillo y muy bonito, así como imaginativo en la forma en que te permite enrollarte con tus propias palabras y dentro de un espacio que, al final, puede antojarse un poco estrecho en opciones. Lo disfruté más que nada porque, a diferencia de juegos similares como Dear Future, no me sentía obligado a aprender sobre los mundos que visitaba, sino que solo me servían de excusa para escribir sobre lo que me pareciera.

Simple and beautiful, as well as imaginative in the way that it lets you have fun with your own words and expressions into what would otherwise a pretty narrow set of poetic possibilities. I enjoyed it mostly because, unlike with similar games like Dear Future, I wans't compelled to learn the truth about anything in particular, just to write.

Not really a game?
I would hesitate to write a starred review about it now, but I did write a review of sorts about it when I played it back in 2014, so I'll ink to it here: http://storycade.com/wander-wonder-elegy-dead-world/
