You are a Lexivore, a being that feeds upon language. You were locked up in an underground facility ever since you were born. Someone has set you free. It is time to escape.

As the Lexivore, you can 'possess' instances of writing or speech, and jump between them if they are close enough. Each level has a goal to reach, but you must find a way to create a path to it by creating instances of language for you to jump between, whether by manipulating computers or by getting humans to talk to each other.
Watch out though, entering an instance of speech too many times and you will consume it, erasing it and preventing you from entering it at all...

This is a very short game made for a school assignment. There are 3 levels, with the first level being a short tutorial. It is a puzzle game, so take your time and try to figure out your way to the goal!
