Excerpt:
Each player has a sheet which is folded to reveal one of three faces to the other players. You show which layer you are currently working in. If your introspects face you, you are in the layer of the scholars, commenting on the fictional work. If your inspects face you, you are in the layer of the characters, acting within your own version of the story. If your aspects face you, you are in the layer of truths and players, speaking about the game itself and what you wish to accomplish.
