In this game, you play as the unaffable Count Paris, untimely murder'd, who has been miraculously preserved, and must now prevent the great tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This is an experimental game that tasks the player with simultaneously balancing two disparate microgames: On one hand, trying to stop Juliet before she meets her end; And on the other hand, preserving the player's own life.

Use QWOP to move, and Esc/Enter to pause.
