brilliant game. the surrealness of the game play, along with simplistic graphics and play-style gives a intriguing and captivating 10 minutes. well done!

Wow these types of games are the ones you remember. This might be the best sub-genre game i have played. The game has an amazing story too. And one more thing, wittyhobos you are a great developer and can't wait until i see more of your work =D

anyone else notice that in the reflection in the water, there is a person standing in the boat? great game by the way, except the ending was kinda a let down. If it had some sort of explanation, or at least a view of the person at his bedside, I wwould have liked it more.

i know this comment will be under rated because its mean not because u disagree. The Ending is Pathetic it doesn't mean anything complete it first and u will see that what i'm saying is right i wont say it i don't want to screw the game for you.

at the vey end of the game after the parrot says "your eyes are opening" you can control your character with the arrow keys

Awesome game, though the controls were a little sticky. I live off of amazing, touching games like this, and the game, in my opinion, is the best since The Company of Myself. I notice many people are saying "Bravo!", but I say, "ENCORE!" I'd love to see more games like this instant classic. PS. Did anyone else notice that in the first room after you start the game and exit the piano room, there is writing on the top-right corner of the wall reading "This world is a lie"?

Pete was in a coma, in this game you are exploring his subconscious and trying to find the 'trigger' to wake him up. I feel like it can be expanded upon, the imagery should relate more tightly than it currently does. What does the worm represent? The red fruit? The only part that made sense was the song that was one of the triggers to wake him up. The doorbell represents him crossing through the door to the 'other side' (out of his coma-world).

Replaying the game after winning (losing? it's not quite clear. Let's say 'completing') causes bugs as things are not reinitialized properly. The fisherman gives the hook directly, the thing in the drain cannot be popped, the piano tune doesn't work (this one might be voluntary, or the tune changes every playthrough). Also, the characters are unmemorable, the ending is weak and the character is hard to control for precision jumps. The plot could use an extensive rewriting, seriously.

3/5. I liked the game and it was fun and simple to play...but at some points its just too dark to see and the switches at the end are a pain to find without a walkthrough sometimes. Other than that the giant worm and random butthole in the ground were funny as hell. Looking forward to see how you improve upon this next time.

Haven't got a clue what it's supposed to mean or whatever, but the game was ok. I would've rated 5 should it of been a little longer...
Still, quite fun to play, messed around too much on the piano :)

This is the first game of this sub-genre that i've seen that is replayable. the different options really made me want to see how different people reacted, especially Gobasa's mum.

wow fun stuff... had to read walkthough to find out final door glitched out and didn't open... spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out where to go in that gave... lame.

i think that the voice that mysteriously talks to you is your sister....maybe since this kid (or adult possibly) is in a coma, maybe the people in the hospital are trying to talk to him....and the voice he keeps hearing is this person thats standing there, waiting for him to wake up. i heard that when youre in a coma, you can hear people in the real world talking, but you obviously cant respond....also when youre in a coma you have amazing dreams and stuff....so ya maybe this is based off a dream this person had. maybe. who knows except the creator :] lol anyway great game will always be one of my favorites

A great game, good concept, beautiful. The end doesn't need to be elaborated on as it defies explination. You sir are a masterful artist.

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).

:O GAPES. OMG.......I totally needed more closure...............AWESOME game though.........really had this ominous but nice feel to it. Wow I can't believe I finished it :|

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...
