Original and unique concept, great dialogue and fantastic atmosphere. Great stuff.

who knew something so short could be so moving?

Voices and music just great (not to mention the dialogue among the three "creatures" around the crate, WOW). I felt like it might have taken inspiration from Willow and Tara relationship on Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, because the characters looked sooo much like them. I really enjoyed it.

Great game, but this tendency to use lesbian characters is turning into a cliche.

Wonderfully atmospheric backgrounds and animation, high quality voice acting and music, and a simple but effective story that is emotional without being overly melodramatic. Highly recommended!
(the fact this was made in under a month to such high quality just makes it more impressive)

Amazingly beautiful visuals, worth playing for the art alone. Voice acting is high quality and adds a lot to the emotional pull. Puzzles are simple and few, feels that most of the game plays itself so enter in to it expecting to watch more than interact.

To have the settings describe mental states is a smart idea. For me this was the most well done thing in the game. The visuals show the hand of an artist, the music was ok, while the rain/snow/leaves animations get most of the applauds. And the fact that there is no doubt about each setting's meaning cotributes a great deal to the success of this idea's implementation. However, I felt that the lightnings in the anger scene could have been more clearly represented.

When considering the choice of puzzles one should not lose from sight the fact that all happens in Amber's mind. Some actions are related to less obvious mental connections but such elements also have less meaning in moving from one stage of the game to another. They are more dream like.

The characters are few and I felt that some of them could have been better defined. The gargoyles have their tradition. But I had problems understanding the trees as a choice of Amber for inner dialog. More puzzling for me was the ghoul. And this is because it may stand for Fio's disease/death-from-disease or just a mental voice that tortures Amber's consciousness. Perhaps the author combined both meanings.The character is important because it demands much attention through the extensive monologue in the beginning when the plot is defined.

Generally one cannot speak of individual weaker aspects of the game. For me, there were some weaker points here and there in the flow of the story. But I cannot say that I understood all metaphors. I think that the human shapes could have used a better design, more according to their feelings perhaps.

An artistic achievement of this caliber is garanteed to have a large audience. It is in the power of talented game makers to use their work to give constructive examples that players can translate in their real lives. It is good to show the people what happens to them but a work of art can achieve more

In a word, beautiful.
