Silent conversation is the latest Gregory Weir creation, an arty game in which you try to touch as much words as you can ...

yay im first!!!!!!
second!!!!
Clearly a creative idea for a game, but I don't (yet?) like it. Music reminds me of Isaac Shepards music catch and music catch 2 music.
this game is most wonderous because you can read and play it.
i really like this game because i love to read, but the nameless city part I was really boring. I stopped paying attention
the love song was really boring too
the descriptive words are flat
skipped nameless city part II
on to alice's adventures in wonderland chapter 1 yay
Boring. Nuff said.
OH!! Alice in Wonderland was the best one!!
My favorite part was falling down the well and the rabbit running off in a hurry (:D)
what happens in race mode?
good, I love gregory weir, and this is nice, but some levels *ahem* nameless city - were too long.
i liked it but i got too wrapped up in reading and always ran into those darn red words that ruin all your progress
ok i take it back i really hate those powerful words, i'm so angry right now i could throw the computer!!!
there's one part in nameless city part 1 that is really irritating, the red words are impossible to avoid and once you get hit you can't reclaim all the words that unhighlighted . . . i thought it was interesting though
Quite possibly THE most boring game ever!! Not impressed, Bart...
The Nameless City Part II! WHAT is with that one word you can't get?! DESCENT! WTF!? I quit........
The Nameless City Part II! WHAT is with that one word you can't get?! DESCENT! WTF!? I quit........
needs interesting or funny stories
and more word animation
but overall good idea
I Like It.

Not Every Game Needs To Be Action Packed Or Stressful.
this game made me cry with its subtle decoration of texts and the challenge to touch every word, a reminder that all great literature is worth lingering over, caressing ...
The comment above this one was probably written by the game's creator.
What is race mode? Does it go faster? Do you race against something?
I got every word in all of them, (except for nameless city 2, which as Jaypee said, has one word that's impossible to get before you fall of the screen) and Alice in Wonderland was by far the best! I liked the part when you're falling down the "well." I would never have gotten it if there hadn't been the "footholds" on the sides or the solid words.
Tip for the powerful words: If you don't mind dying, then get as many of the powerful words as you can before they start "erupting" again.

I really liked this game. It's wonderfully creative and new. And the way the words form things, move, and are placed on the screen (mostly Alice in Wonderland) is really awesome. And I think I'm the first to say that I really liked The Nameless City. It was very interesting to read.
The only way I could see to improve it is to have word animation and things like that. But other then that this is one of the better games I've played lately.
Actually, it's not so much of a game, but a book. A book that makes you slow down and notice each word you read, and focus on the "powerful" words. It's a breath of fresh air from other games.
That being said, if you don't like reading, you'll find this game extremely boring and dull. Good for you. Because, it is more about the words than the gameplay.
But, I do like to read, and I really love this game. I really love all Gregory Weir's games, but this is one of my favorites.

That fricken wind in nameless city part 3 messed me up quite a few times.
Playerette - the music, according to the credits, is by Antony Raijekov.

I too enjoyed The Nameless City. I hardly noticed that the level went for so long. I'm gonna have to find that book and buy it. :D
Alice in Wonderland was probably my favourite, though. I really need to read more of these things you call books.
btw, Being One: Chapter Two is out now. Played it on NotDoppler yesterday.
I have to go back to school in two days. :(
I really liked this, but it was a lot trickier than I expected. It's hard to follow the books and play the game at the same time!
As far as the discriptive words being flat in "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" goes, I believe that's the point; Eliot was portraying Prufrock as a stolid Edwardian gent who is trying to convey romantic imagery, and not being terribly sucessful.
/\well thats dumb because not
||everyone knows that
when does the next game come?
getting ennoyed -.-''
Ughhhh I got in the first story and it was SOOO long and boring and the dumb powerful words kept hitting me. I am not to fond of this game.
The reference to Lovecraft is casual, but the game itself is a real original way to rediscover great texts. Great game!
...and, for French people like me, a nice way to improve my oxfordishlike English, which I like much than any other manner of speaking this language... although I am almost certain that I have left many grammatical errors in writing my posts. :)
i love this!!!!
it kindof makes me think that this should be a game you play at school casue you are reading at the same time ^~^
anyways i love this its fun to read and play games at time ^~^
fun fun fun fun fun
