As many have said: Disappointing end due to lack of resolution. Pleasant art with great sound and reminds me of Samorost by Tomas Dvorak (which in my books is complimentary). At the risk of being negated (like many others) I would like to agree that it was too dark in many places which, coupled with a lack of certainty at what to do, is slightly frustrating. I honestly look forward to your next offering and, given the potential on show, am sure it will be fascinating. Thank you again.

Despite the comments, ending is adequate for a game, that is considered as a child's dream. And the game itself is wonderful. 5/5, bravo!

It is an incredible game with an incredible concept. I can imagine meself being him and exploring my own imagination. It's amazing that it makes myself compare the differences between the mysterious subconsious world of Pete's and the real world, Pete's mom posiibly taking care of Pete. The game almost seems... sadistically beautiful. It makes you pity Pete. An amazing game, I repeat. wittyhobos, you deserve kudos for coming up with completly original concept gameplay. 10/10 Keep up the good work! I'm hoping for more games like this!

people need to see that games are not just to run around and shoot people they can be an art form too where its less about the actual game play then it is about a wonderfull story or life lesson. too bad some people dont see these things

This is seriously weak imagery. Though the graphics were good, and the atmosphere was perfect, the storyline was weak, characters weren't developed/explained in the slightest, and overall, it's not a good game.

Art is good but game is a bit disappointing even for the genre it's in. First of the ending was disappointing and then there are some situations where you get stuck and don't know what to do (eg after you play the piano in the worm caves).

If you finish the game, and play again, your father gives the hook right away. If you take it, you get stuck, as fat boy doesn't say anything...

While the story was interesting insofar as it went, the imagery was poorly connected to what was supposedly happening to the hero, and nothing in it really developed. The end came abruptly and for little reason, many of the apparent story arcs were never fully played out, and all-in-all I felt that a chance had been wasted. Never mind the game's lovely haunting atmosphere, it's covering up for a woeful lack of substance and extremely weak platform adventure gameplay. Next time, a story that can be followed would be better, especially if it could have the pleasant duality of being linkable to what is happening to the 'real' hero in his coma.

i think pete was originaly in a comma. So to hit his head agian on the door bell to wake him up too see his sister thats what i got out of it.

beautiful gameplay, interactions, storyline was one of a kind, in one word to describe this game would have to be epic.

To add to my own comment, I believe that the figures in the house are actually all of the loved ones watching over Pete as he is in the coma.

@REALISE, That's actually exactly what went through my head after playing the game. The only thing that puzzled me is there is a figure in the house at the beginning that remains unidentified and I couldn't get a grasp on who it was supposed to be.

Roger Ebert can suck it, video games can absolutely be art - this was a stunning example of exactly that. Bravo, wittyhobos.

A beautiful yet confusing game, trying to find everything was tough... I do like the story behind it though. Its quite sad, which is probably the reason I find it to be so beautiful.

After I beat the game, I played the piano and I think I broke the triggers. Other than that, a lovely little game with beautiful scenery, good job at making it so immersive despite its simplicity. The point was a bit too deep for me, but I get lost easily. Still, five stars for combining a good narrative with simple gameplay, resulting in a game of higher quality than most on this site.

much too much darkness coupled with the protagonist being all black makes for alot of confusing jumping around. some kind of artistic story? seems like an exuse to have only like 9 lines of text (that mean nothing) in the whole game. 2/5
P.S. graphics are very nice otherwise.
