|corona)[A corona is a set of fourteen sonnets of fourteen lines each. The final line of each sonnet becomes the first line of the following sonnet.]
|maze)[In this game, the sonnet corona takes the form of a maze, rendering the sonnnet form less linear even as it makes explicit the form's spatial impulses.]
|game)[In this game, you will be presented with a screen with a line of poetry and then a list of directions. Each line of poetry constitutes the "description" of a room in the maze, and selecting a direction takes you to a new room.]
|choices)[Some choices alter later available choices.]
|lines)[Some lines also present in-line choices that carry varying effects of revealing more or different text or transporting the player to a new location in the maze.]
|entrance)[The entrance and exit always remain in place and will always be the first and final line of the corona.]
