Littlehat, I love your description of the game, As to deathkknight....Well my interpretation of the "childish" gifts is a bit different.... I see the red ballloon as the airiness and freedom of love, floating upon the wind as a baloon. I see the Lollipop as a symbol of the sweetness of love, but like candy. Short and sweet. The teddy bear symbolizes the playfulness and youth that love gives to people. And finally the ribbon, like it ties and holds a woman's hair, love is a ribbon that lifts people from hard times, that lifts people from the disparity and loneliness of the world. So in the end this game....it is less of childhood from youth to old age, but more overall as reminding a woman who has lost her love. Our protagonist a remnant of her lover who strives to bring color to a world she now percieves as simply life and death, (black and white),that color being love, and it's ability to resurrect our vitality and bring us purpose.
Tested Charmanda's theory there.....well, with a wee bit of creative thinkin' and some Perserverance, you can solve the puzzles with a dick. "Grats charmanda for wasting 10 mins of my ;ife XD
