About This Game

Based on first hand accounts from real-life English 'peasant poet' John Clare, this story follows his escape from an asylum and chronicles his 80 mile walk home. The adventure explores the fictions and misremembering that resulted from a troubled mind experiencing such an exhausting trek.
