Perfection. :D
Absolutely fantastic story man, and what a great game. I hope to see more like this in the future. (:

Wow.
Was a little tricky, but everyone had the answers.
Beautiful, calming music.
Such a beautiful story though, and the ending..
Worth every minute. :)
5/5 10/10
Beautiful and Suprisingly Clever
As others are beginning to say, in visual and challenge areas this game doesn't give a great impression initially. The narrative text is possibly a bit long and comes across a tad on the childish side from time to time, but ultimately it begins to paint a complete picture that is actually quite lovely. In addition there are plenty of amusing notes and clever puns hidden in many of the scenes. The longer I stayed with this game the more I liked it for what it is - talking to the characters is half the fun - never mind if the actual puzzles are not difficult (they are at least logical).
Even though, for example, the graphics are roughly and simply drawn, it becomes less important as the game goes on, perhaps even part of the atmosphere of the story and the importance of seeing joy in beautiful, natural things. (Incidentally I think the same thing goes for the sound - not unusual and immediately exciting perhaps, but eventually familiar, not grating and well suited to the different places e.g. Oddness Standing and Pool of Tranquillity)
I hope more people take the time to see what's good about this game and rate it more accordingly! (Higher!)
Finally some literature.
You might as well have been writing Gulliver's Travels, as for the fantasy, interpretation of characters and all related lingos, and for the intensity of light, delightful, engaged, moral satire. Great job, amusing and perfect in any minimal detail.
Beautiful story, and easy (but engaging) gameplay. It was nice to see the world filled with ..Oddness! Some really charming backstories here. I loved the art, it suited the game so nicely.
