Cadavre Exquis is the Surrealist parlor game often called Exquisite Corpse in which each player writes or draws on a sheet, folds the page to hide the contribution, and passes only the last step in the sequence to the next player.

This arcade version seats a language model at the table. Human players choose the table size, the model’s seat, and the word limit, and the browser shows only the latest fold. When the sheet is finally revealed, the model constructs a short close-reading analysis of the finished poem.
