ABOUT THE GAME
Select the link and read the text and notes
``Harmonia'' is an interactive mystery where you advance by selecting links in English sentences. This book traces the narrator's experiences as a substitute lecturer at a university and the annotations attached to old materials. The structure is such that the act of reading the main text is accompanied by voices from the margins.
GAMEPLAY
Annotations open from the person's name in the text
"Professor Jeffrey Lynn" is the name of Professor Jeffrey Lynn. When you select the link, a supplementary note will appear in the right margin stating that the professor was researching 19th century mysticism and the narrator was researching the early feminist movement during the Civil War. You can read the annotations while leaving the text intact.

Words lead to the margins
When you select an underlined word, an annotation will appear in the margin and be connected to the original word with a line. You can compare the opened annotation and the story text on the same screen.
Links used for progression and selection
Not all links open annotations. Some display a continuation or present choices, allowing you to advance to the next development based on the words in the sentence.
Follow readers from different eras
In addition to the experiences of modern storytellers, it also covers the annotations left by future readers on ancient texts. Set against the backdrop of 19th century utopian literature, this is a work that is read through multiple sources and their interpretations.
PLAY NOTES
Play notes
- English reading comprehension
- The text, annotations, and choices are in English, and reading the meaning is the center of play. Begin means the beginning, dean means the dean, and unlocked means the key was open.
- How to proceed in the beginning
- Open Chapter 1 with Begin. When you select Blithedale College, the college annotation will appear on the left. If you select unlocked at the end of the text, the text inside the school building will be added.
- Time and scale
- The author introduction consists of 12 chapters. The author's commentary suggests that the reading time is approximately 1 hour, but this will vary depending on your English reading comprehension and the pace at which you read the annotations.
- Display and prices
- You can read the author's official browser version for free. The annotations extend to both sides of the main text, so if you read it on a screen with plenty of space, you can compare the main text and the margins.
