Asphodel is a game intended to collect data for a scientific study run by students at the Berkeley School of Information. In this game, you will solve puzzles for as long as you want. There is no ending or final level, so feel free to close out of this page once you've played enough. All data from user behavior is anonymized and only collected from this webpage via Google Analytics.
This game is a modified version of Linjat, originally designed and written by Juho Snellman and can be found on Github here. Credit also goes to Matteo Mazzarolo, who wrote and designed a very cool version of Linjat that can be downloaded on both iOS and Android. Find his version here on GitHub. Neither of these games are affiliated with this study, and neither track any sort of user behavior whatsoever; we highly encourage you to check their games out!
In this game, you earn points by completing levels. Once you reach a certain number of points, you unlock the ability to change the font of the game! The more points you earn, the more fonts become available to you.
Keep in mind that this point system is designed to motivate you to play the game longer and increase engagement. Have fun!
