This is marvelous. The music is fantastic, and I feel swept away into the story with it. The art is fantastic - it works perfectly for the story, since it looks childish and yet sophisticated enough to keep the rest of us into the scenery as well. And finally, the story. It wasn’t too complex, but I think it was like that for a reason. It was told like how a child would understand and find funny, but still witty and something the older generations could enjoy as well. I particularly enjoyed clicking on everything and finding it all has its’ own witty dialogue - or that the eyes and flowers each seemed to have their own characteristics and back story (like the pickpocket, whom just reads Daniel Keyes novels now). I loved the titles of the books in Dr. McShellfish's office. I could easily write more on this, like how much effort you put into this game, but that would take far too long. Oh, and thank you for reminding me not to use that capybara. I smiled the whole way through. 5/5

I thought this was going to be a little distraction so I could escape my life for a few minutes. Instead, I found a beautifully crafted, intelligent, story that was able to not only transport me to The Land of Dreams, but also articulate through the actions of one unfortunately named girl what I have been doing all week long: living other stories. My hat is off to you, JonasKyratzes. This is a great game for all those willing to read and think. Appearances can be deceiving (as Dr.Selfish will tell you), words are not boring today.

A wonderfully, crazy trip into a world living side by side with our own. This game is just amazing. There is a lot of reading involved but the fact that it is all unique and interesting at every turn makes it great. The attention to detail was astounding; how nearly everything had a entire history for it from the characters to the lowliest eyeball or smallest decoration. I loved everything about this game and I hope to see more like this from you.

Just started, but the witty and hilarious dialog is just beautiful. It's been a while since I've laughed like this. Thank you, Jonas. 5/5

Why...is this developer so...under-rated? its almost tragic. He makes such beautiful games and they go...unnoticed because people don't want to read...

I found games here, that eased my boredom. I found games here, that made the adrenaline pump through my veins. I found games here, that made me laugh. I found games here, that would challenge me. And now I found a game, that was able to calm me down despite the fast-paced world around me. Thank you. 5/5

There are people saying that this game needs voice narration. I disagree; part of the beauty of this game is the fact that it is like a book, with pictures in to stimulate the imagination, and the wonderful music in the background helps you relax into the story as you unfold the plot.
An excellent game in all, and I really hope that you make another game like this, because this is possibly the most beautiful and thought inspiring game I have ever played.

This is filled with text. Text that has more references to old games, stories, myths, legends, tunes, ideas and other stuff. Text wins everytime. 5/5

A nice, intruiging, deep game. It shows that what is commonly known is not always true, people are misundersood, grave names can belong to great things (or people), People can make hard choices and live with them, and the beauty of the sky.
I also thought the 'press t for a tiny sound' was cute, and fairly odd sounding, but fitting.
Very beautiful game. 5/5.

Humor and a storyline that matches its beauty, games like these truly deserve a 5/5 yet they are constantly looked over because of tiny trivialities. Sad thing nowadays. Fantastic and simple all the same.

I thought that this was a beautiful game with a lovely storyline. This game defied expectations and I was sad to leave this world.
The music was a beautiful addition as well. 5/5

To rate this poorly due-to having to read is criminal. The writing avoids being bombastic. The grammar is nigh flawless, despite there being a lot of it. The story, characters, and dialogue are all enjoyable and full of humor. And, there's a definite moral to be taken from the story, despite it facetiousness. Rarely do I rate a full 5/5, but this, without an iota of a doubt, deserves it. A very endearing and praise-worthy work.

You know... this world sort of seems post apocalyptic... devolved humans, mutant priests, robots and evolved lizards... only this is so far after the apocalypse that life has begun again. Just something to think about.

I really enjoyed this and I wasn't sure I was going to. It's childLIKE, but not childISH. Very well done! If there are any more stories/games like this, I look forward to them!

The game is truly a gem on Kongregate. When I first started playing, I was just looking for a time saver instead I stepped into a magnificent world which was truly entertaining and amazing. I would love to see more games just like this one, I can proudly say that this game is my favorite flash game ever. From the dialogue to the characters and even to the setting this game truly hits all points with excellence. I've played this game multiple times now and I still enjoy the witty dialogue and story everytime. 5/5

Going through the comments and seeing all the negative votes against people who complained about the text of the game actually made tears come to my eyes. It's seeing things like that that make me hopeful for the world. 5/5 for the game, and 5/5 for every one of you that rated this game the same way I did.

loved the humor and child-like quality of the adventure, and how sweet it was - i was honestly a little moved by how raven's eventual future was described. and clicking around seeing the descriptions was so fun :)

Hell, I love all of the references in here. There are very many, but the best part is that you don't have to understand them to enjoy the game/story.

Funny, poignant and sweet. The music was perfect. I'm a cynical bat, and I still fell hard for the storybook feel of this game--there was no way *not* to.

This game is divine, the story is entrancing, and I am enthralled with this game. This is one of those games you have to come back to because once isnt enough. Love the game, and hope you make more in the future.

Apparently some people are unable to read so immediately rate this game down. We should feel sorry for these unfortunate people, yet amazed that they can operate a computer with such little education.

I first saw the somewhat childish art style as a downside, but as I read and played through it became a key part to setting the mood of such a beautiful story. All the elements of this game, the story, music, and art, all come together in a fantastic way to bring the player into this story. This is not just a game, but an artistic masterpiece. 5/5

I think it's the first comment I ever write on Kong, having played here for years and years.
Congratulations to a very talented author. This -story- is masterfully crafted, I don't think of it as a game at all. Wherever you decide to keep making games, or dedicate yourself to writing, I'm sure you'll have any success you want. I'm a big bookworm, and this story is a direct entry to my personal Hall of Fame.
Sad thing is the rating is so low, don't take this personally, don't take it at all. Many a world changing storyteller has had a start plagued by criticism, and the average Kong user is not an avid reader, apparently!

People saying that the game involves too much reading are kind of missing the point...as this game is all about the joys of reading.
5/5. Truly an imaginative experience. I loved exploring and clicking all of the various things to see the witty replies and descriptions. A lot of thought and attention to detail went into this, and it shows.
