ABOUT
"My high charms work,
And these, mine enemies, are all knit up
In their distractions. They now are in my power."
The Tempest, Act 3 Scene 3
You are a corporate drone tasked with purging poetry from CORPOTECH's Database of Subsumed Cultures. But when a mysterious interloper hacks into your console, you're faced with an escalating series of requests which put you in direct opposition to your corporate overlords and on a collision course with the sublime.

Loved the game very much! Just didn't figure out how to get Ending 1.
I wouldn't have shared these, but since you urged it on at the end, I thought I might as well!
Assignment 533: Marvumheonackolin
Basil whispered, sunshine spoke! Her magic resonated from my soul
Sweet voice of comfort
He has been asleep for a long time
He thinks the full chorus of heaven
fairy numbers are no longer welcome
songs that fall
Assignment 564: Gzell
How far below me the globe appears!
The piteous race below
the mighty little man, Metaphysicus.
What good will it do you?
Hold me close to heaven's bright art!
the noblest art of all
Assignment 572: Lleanee
In the midnight dream, many people's faces suffer
the dead lying on their backs with outstretched arms
that indescribable look
I am dreaming, dreaming, dreaming,
Of the beautiful tumbling waves, reefs, Natural scenes
I am dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
To die
Assignment 577: Eronar
sudden births and deaths
shaped himself: unintentional
useless vessel, unintentional
shaped sudden soul
sudden births and deaths, unintentional
Assignment 581: Lanirian
Some accuse you of taking
These sterile thoughts
as long as we laugh, cry
nothing to sing
