I SAW
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Atmospheric, minimalistic exploration of a poem. Classic 2D-puzzle-platformer that makes you read while playing.
Controls
You can play this game either with keyboard or controller, but using a controller is arguably more fun (Xbox, or Playstation 4 in control layout).
Hint
This game is an exploration of Howl by Allen Ginsberg. If you‘re stuck, reading the poem might give you the answer you‘re looking for.

I GAVE YOUR GAME A GO.
:-D Loved it. Sorry we made you rage that hard. It's based on Allen Ginsbergs Howl (thus stuff like 'Negro Street') and the poem also gives you the solution to some of the riddles, like your Broken-Heart-Dilemma (Hint: 'Left no broken hearts').
Also there is one more Option to do with 'I saw', hooking. This helps you move objects. :-)
I will most definitely give your game another try. Thank you so much for making such a unique game.
