Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vain
This is most likely the deepest, scariest project on scratch. For those astounding qualities I will give your project the highest honor bestowable... ITS GOIN' IN MA GALLERY
Immense and haunting beauty makes this game eery but elegant. It has been portraied stunningly, the music adds to the mood. Could possibly be the best game I have ever seen on scratch. It is truly beautiful.
Whoever detracts from this game does not understand its beauty. In the loud and whimsical world that is Scratch, this shines out by being dreary. The music conveys a sense of hopelessness and hopefulness at the same time; the drawings are exquisite; and though you do rise slowly, this makes it harder to avoid the Raven, giving you the chilling sense of terror as the poem does as you watch the speaker descend into insanity. Haunting and beautiful simultaneously- 5/5

Project Notes
This game is based on the classic poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. It uses illustrations from the book by Ryan Price.
You control Edgar's soul as he attempts to escape from the house. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to move him, and collect artifacts to make him rise faster. But watch out - if the Raven touches Edgar, his soul shall be lifted nevermore.
Special thanks to Jesse Bertolas for her help with the graphic design.
