Analysis
Here you will find original essays and opinion pieces I've written explaining and analyzing various aspects of the game. All of the content below consists of my own personal interpretations, which are purely subjective and not to be taken as definitive fact. Baroque was designed to be a highly personal experience and therefore defies concrete explanation by its very nature.
