I must say, this game is very similar to Limbo, and many people may say it's "stolen" but in today's gaming industry, everything is "stolen." This game is beautiful, and haunting at the same time.

This is just how I look at it: Mama Gomgossa is Pete's dead mother in Heaven and the whole coma is a test. Pete is a mentally unstable four-year-old who has fallen into a coma due to a narvous breakdown. Bird is his imaginary friend and conscience, vital during the coma as Pete cannot venture far without getting caught up. The Dore Bell is a portal back into consciousness but Mama Gomgossa tells Pete not to ring it as part of a test to certify if Pete really does want to live. Bird realized the test in Mama Gomgossa's words but thought of it negatively. His later confession is a way of saying "I looked at Mama Gomgossa the wrong way."
But even if I'm wrong, this game will always remain one of my favourites. It's so soothing and truly does draw you in!

Once I heard "Pete! Your eyes are opening! I'll see you soon..."
I cried my eyes out.
This was a truly beautiful game.
Beautiful enough to be called art rather than game.
I've only played one game other than Coma that has made me cry; That makes a game a truly amazing one.
10/5; amazing game!

Game was quite well arranged :) I liked it a lot, both the scenerio and symbolism. I've got one question: anyone know where I'd be able to find the music played in the background?

Did anybody else see the person in the reflection in the water at the end of the game? I'm guessing that could be Pete's mother, waiting for him to wake up beside his hospital bed.

I think it's the most beautiful game I've ever seen. Thank you. Really. I wish I could use the tip box, but I'm not of age yet, sorry. Thank you again.

bugged? at the penultimate area where there's a switch to activate the bridge, and another switch to open up the hole leading to the final area. second switch doesn't open up the hole. otherwise, an exceedingly beautiful game.

Hey, guys, especially Wittyhobos... I am thinking of maybe, perhaps, possibly making a movie out of this. I could stretch the plot in a whole shitload of ways, and I was wondering if it would be all right with everyone. If anyone has any suggestions, reply or email me at frdy111@gmail.com. Thanks!

I know this is supposed to be an artsy thing, but there's no excuse for horrible controls. You're forced to use the arrow keys AND the mouse, meaning I keep switching my right hand between the two. Also, half the game is in area where it's too dark to see anything. People think it creates atmosphere, but it just breeds frustration when you realize you were supposed to hit the switch on the ceiling that you can't see because it's the same color as the background.
