Hey guys! This game took forever to release. I actually finished it a few months ago. Blegh! Anyway, I hope you all have fun. :) I'm selling the music, along with the tracks from the William and Sly games and a few others on Bandcamp, so give the link in the game a click! You can listen to everything for free on BC too if you like.

If you have some problems with lag, try disabling hardware acceleration. NG uses windowed mode, I think, which will force hardware acc on higher end computers, but the game uses blitting, which is all done on the CPU, so the hardware will slow it down by adding an extra layer. Lol, this means the game is probably running better on old laptops (can't win with Flash...)

I thought about another game when I took a walk today and tried to remember a character in it with long arms and capable of doing very advanced magic. I thought "Wasn't he referred to as the weaver?". Then I remembered that "the weaver" was just from a free flash game on the internet, and I remember it being quite fun so I looked forward to get home so I could search it up and play it. Turns out I did not know the name of the game so I searched for "the weaver" which strangely did not give any relevant result. I managed to find it anyway after a while.

Anyway about the game: Pretty good. I did not find any bugs and everything art/music/gameplay related was well made. I noticed you cannot lose/die/backtrack in a way you need to do a task again. Story was very bad. I liked those cultists. What is the role of the weaver? I understand it is a dream and everything does not need to be logical but being kind of a main character and seemingly essential for the people there I would like at least a little concrete explanation of why the weaver plays such a big role. Where did the cultists come from and why were they dangerous/what did they want? We do not need such answers. We can make our own. In our dreams maybe. The story could be much better tho if more things were explained. Also, Draco should totally stop letting Martha boss around with him all the time.

The game is a linear sequence of walking around the island in search for the one thing you can interact with, with one trial-and-error puzzle intermingled somewhere in the middle.
The art is nice though

Lol, basically.

Wonder if this game doesn't work anymore... all I see is black screen... music is great.

Ah, such a beautiful game. Glad I came back to play it again, I had forgotten most of the story. I really hope something comes of those hints at a sequel, eventually!

(Spoiler) Only gripe is that you never actually get to pose an answer to the Sphinx's riddle. A very, very minor gripe, though.

Dude that was an awesome AWESOME game great story and I loved the music!
