The Old Antmythopoeia

This is a Reinterpretation Game. The rules are simple: In the following pages, piece together the numerous illustrations and words into a narrative that makes sense to you.

This style of storytelling, called REMIX FICTION, is how the ants share their various legends and fables amongst one another.

Myths from their solipsistic cosmicism called NARANATHISM. I've scoured the RETROPRESENT in search of the ants' wonder tales and have found their greatest one in an untranslated form.

To the "best" of my abilities, I've compiled the following nonsense into a metafictional video game.

This "video game", called GRASSHOPPER SHARPSHOOTER, tells the life story of Atom Tony Coleman; a metafictional deity who the ants consider to be the greatest within their meta pantheon.

Tasked in uncovering the intrinsic meaning of life, Atom sets off on a 1000-year pilgrimage to reach the Age of 99 so that he may qualify for an opportunity to challenge an Axiom to an existential duel to earn the answer.

Whether or not he succeeds in his absurd endeavor will depend on how much of his story you're able to comprehend.

As such, I've a few hints to help aid you in deciphering this oddity.

For starters, it's best to use a bookmark to save your progress.

Next, if you get "stuck" at any point in your "playthrough", consider obtaining a Naranathism Strategy Guide to better aid you in understanding the numerous Keywords contained within this Reinterpretation Game.

Additionally, if you spot any "discrepancies", it means you're paying Attention.

Lastly, take your time and let your imagination fill in the information gaps that will inevitably come your way.

Consider this experience you're about to explore as the end of a two-part duology.

Aside from that, the only thing I've left to say is this: Make good small decisions.

Best of luck. You're going to need it.
