"To do this, you just click on the right word in the right place at the right time." is easier said then done - what makes a word be right, and when is the "right time"? Is there only one way to play the game? I am pretty confused.\r\rThe presentation is nice. I like the music (thanks for pointing me to a generator I didn't know!). I think it could benefit from new sound effects and better feedback in general, for example telling me whether my click was right or not and when a new sentence appears. A timer might've helped too!"},{"author_name":"ObscenelyTrue","author_uid":"13886","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:19pm","epoch":1377544440,"text":"In fact, clicking on a tag activates a memory in connection with the place.
