We perish'd, each alone (Castaway)...

In March of 2020 the English class I was taking read Virginia Wolf's "To the Lighthouse" which features Cowper's "The Castaway." It was also around this time, as high school seniors, that the MBS talked about the pandemic's personal effects on their lives, I hope this bitsy game blends those two experiences together in a somewhat enjoyable way. Created for EMS.
