Dark Night of the Soul: Midnight Version

I.


In a dark night,

With anxious love inflamed,

O, happy lot!

Forth unobserved I went,

My house being now at rest.


II.


In darkness and in safety,

By the secret ladder, disguised,

O, happy lot!

In darkness and concealment,

My house being now at rest.


III.


In that happy night,

In secret, seen of none,

Seeing nought myself,

Without other light or guide

Save that which in my heart was burning.


IV.


That light guided me

More surely than the noonday sun

To the place where He was waiting for me,

Whom I knew well,

And where none appeared.


V.


O, guiding night;

O, night more lovely than the dawn;

O, night that hast united

The lover with His beloved,

And changed her into her love.


VI.


On my flowery bosom,

Kept whole for Him alone,

There He reposed and slept;

And I cherished Him, and the waving

Of the cedars fanned Him.


VII.


As His hair floated in the breeze

That from the turret blew,

He struck me on the neck

With His gentle hand,

And all sensation left me.


VIII.


I continued in oblivion lost,

My head was resting on my love;

Lost to all things and myself,

And, amid the lilies forgotten,

Threw all my cares away.

Much better than Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon.

This game is more atmospheric than Fallout 4 and also quite difficult, it's an experience that cannot come from committee but from wittee, it's the best advertisement for a Tazer I've ever controlled.

I love the art-style, but there are too many places where the textbox doesn't cover the text and it becomes too hard to read.

TheAuspiciousCygnus responds:

A legitimate criticism. I am pleased you like the art, I would hope that in the future I can build out from the bones of this and make a game that not only looks cool but is narratively compelling and less of a datamosh. Thank you engaging with my project. *bows in Japanese.
