This game is pure gold, although ironically a bit too dark at times for people who don't own an LCD with the brightness set on max, I had to strain my eyes a lot. And the ending is somewhat anticlimactic but the gameplay, story, art, and music are all top notch. 5/5

This was one of the greatest games I have played in awhile. The interesting gameplay, the beautiful artwork, the captivating story line. . . It was a refreshing game to play. Even the different characters and their personalities gives this a sort of 'dream like' feel. From the beginning, this game captured my interest; starting in a gloomy room with a grand piano, letting me play the Chicken Dance as the first thing to do in the game. There's only two things that I can critique. One, the title of the game sort of gave away the ending, as open ended as it was. It almost made me assume that this was all a coma induced dream world, but didn't faze me too much. The second was that you had to click during the dialogue, when it would be easier to use a space bar and the arrow keys. But it was pretty quick and easy to get used to, as I was more interested in the story line of the game. Now, if only it was longer! Thank you so much for this great game and addition to Kongregate, Wittyhobos!

Great game and work or art 5/5, i like how you dont know how the game ends, it jsut says that your eyes are opening and that the bird is gonig to see you soon... so judging by my experiance i beleive this: You are ni a coma, and you are in this weird world were everyhting is so bizzare, your dad doesnt do anyhting and is cruel partialy lazy, your sister is gone, your mother (mama) is in the clouds (heaven) but she doesnt want you to leave this palce, she wants you to stay. then theres the bird, he giudes you along, taking yuo further, but when you get closer to your mother in the sky, he urges you to turn back, and then says that she is a lair. he wants you to ring the so-called "doorbell". once you find it, he says he'll see you soon, judging by the comments, i htink it doesnt say wheather he is waknig up or passing on. definitely needs a sort of sequel, mainly because i want to know what happens, are you waking or passing.... i have to know! 5/5

Just like Little Wheel, this is a brilliant experience. Not exactly a game, as a short story of exquisite beauty and simplicity.

i played this game several times, again and again i have tears in my eyes, its so wonderfull, the atmosphere, the music the feelings. and its like i would think a coma is, the coma says its the real world, but some parts are missing and wrong, and or friends outside who wanne try to help take part there, like the sister with her music,

I'm gettin bored of non-game atmospheric art pieces.
This is as vapid and meaningless as the proceeding 10 of its ilk.
Stop badging any artistic LOOKING crap that comes out of AG plz.

its an ok game but, it just lacks an explanation of what is going on and what things mean. as far as gameplay it was bland and the plot was too vague to leave a mark.

i agree with shaedo. there should be a section of games like this. like loved or the company of myself. games that are true works of art

This game left me with an indescribable feeling afterwords, not happy, but not really sad either. Not many games can bring out feelings, even the descibeable ones

Great game, but there seems to be a bug of some sort. In the room with all the gross, pulsating organ things, There are two buttons I'm supposed to hit, one on the top level to the far right and one on the underside of the platform (above the brain thing) I've hit both of these buttons but the floor won't open up to the dore bell room.

wow this game sucks
Reasons why
- the ending or lack thereof
- there is a glitch that when you replay the game and see the father for the first time it skips to where you get the hook from him and if you go to pop fattycakes with it you can't.
( I dont know if this happens every time)
-it doesn't tell you who's talking. so at the end where bird (I think) says "i lied to you..." i had no clue. I thought I found the sister.
I found "Company of my self" and "Walking Tall" excellent representations of this "Psychological art" mini-genre but this game...

what a crappy game. no story, just some lame running around, no challenge, no skills, no choices. just some flowers moving when i pass and some birds dancing in the wind. well thats not why i play games.
