Thankyou. This was beautiful. I finished it as was thinking Oh my god that was so cool. The illustration was also beautiful 5/5

In the beginning, when beautifull woman said that magic was tied to color and everybody has only one breath, i thought of Brandon Sanderson's "Warbreaker". Magic works here quite different though.
I liked the game very much, thank you.
Yeah. It didn't really make the connection between 'my' Breath and Warbreaker's Breath until someone in these comments pointed it out to me. It wasn't intentional, and it works quite differently. I did read Warbreaker though, very good book ;)

"There's a faint tick-tock sound coming from the reptile."
You really put in a lot of effort making all these references, this is really a work of art.

At first I was "God no, not a slow story game to plow through just to get a badge" But I thought that I would give it a chance, I'm truly glad that I did. It was amazing, well written and was beautifully made. Thank you for the great time I had playing the game!

One thing that kind of bugs me: It's possible to complete chapter 3 without talking to the monk, but it still mentions his words in the chapter epilogue. Other than that, though, one of the best games on this site.
Sooo.... did you complete the chapter without talking to the monk? :D I figured, if you came all the way to ch3, you're pretty likely to talk to him. And if you don't use the hintbook, then you HAVE to talk to him in order to get the answer about the colour of the berries and the hint about the fallen star.

The rabbit says his king is "the tallest rabbit you've ever seen, and he walks on two legs!" Would that be Bugs, by any chance?

Oh, finally. A developer knowing the Discworld. You Sir, deserve my like :)
Not the most intensive game i ever played, but it's message is something that makes you think. Thanks
I'm a big fan of the earlier magical, whimsical, insane DW novels when Rince, the witches and captain Carrot and Nobby were King. The newer ones, they're touch and go; there's a different energy behind the writing and they just feel... not the same.

Hah! Is it wrong that I'm slightly proud of my "first catch"? x3 And the part of me that wants a continuation is very small. I evidently didn't make it clear... You've created pure fuel for the imagination. I can't express how much I condone that. If you gave in and wrote more of the story right now, I would wish to virtually slap you. =oP What you guys did here isn't just fiction (albeit with a "message"), it's a plea to create your own, to remember how to amuse ourselves and not just play pre-organised games (yes, yes I know this itself is a pre-organised game, but it has to be to exist at all). That's how I see it anyway, and I just CAN'T be the only one who does. =oP

General approval of the many, many easter eggs, which gave me many a chuckle while I was playing. I thought the simplicity of the crayon drawings were perfect for this glimpse into another possible world. I don't agree with those who say the art should be better, as I think this depicts our inner child quite succinctly, and we all need one of those. ;oD And though part of me would have loved a continuation, I love the fact that since I played I've been telling myself stories in my head based around these characters and this world. Serious kudos to Black Olive Games.
Also, I want to try some of the old man's "strange green tobacco". xD
Ahh yes, the mysterious green tobacco. I think this is the first time someone mentioned it. Good catch ;) Glad you enjoyed it, and although it breaks my heart not to make a sequel after comments like this, I think the story ended just where it was supposed to.
Thanks. My philosophy is that the best games are the ones that can be called 'an experience'. Where you can immerse yourself in whatever world you are in, live it and suspend your disbelief until the very end. There's a very big difference between games that "feel like games" and games that "feel like an experience".

This game is truely inspiring. I love the story. Thank you so much for this game. I almost wish that I would have dreams like this game. I hope it will be a sequel. For me this is a game that I have to rate 5/5 stars.

Waiting didn't work for me. Anyway i solved using left click + configuration, then after 2 o 3 secs the screen loaded, i was able to play the game, thanks for the answer. Great game btw :D

The graphics are a bit for children...but I know that you tried your best to draw those pictures.I knok that it's not that easy.You did a great job but it was boring for me after about 30 minutes.

I am having a bug with both chrome and firefox. When i press start game, i just see a gray window, when i click it fade to black and gray again. I can't enjoy the story
I don't think it's a bug with Firefox or Chrome, since the game usually works normally. I did, however, have one case that seems similar to yours. I click start story, and I get a grey screen. It's something to do with the computer I was playing with. I just wait a couple of seconds though, and the game starts after the grey screen. Don't know what caused this.

At first, I thought this game would be some sort of artsy-fartsy narrative, which... well, it was. But it also proved more humorous and even touching than I expected.

I'm a hopeless romantic. I loved the ending. Couldn't help but envision the seed from the tree of death maturing into a skittles yielding savior for the rainbow. Oh well, happy thoughts. Thanks!

Great game. I am sincerely hoping the unexplored regions hint at possible sequels. I've always been pretty terrible at Litt, but did I detect some foreshadowing by the name Scarlet and a Queen who's lost her flame??

The small text is really frustrating, increasing the page size doesn't affect it's size. Any way you can fix this please? I'm only in the beginning but so far this seems like a heavily text based game.
Ahh no, that wasn't a reference, at least not intentional. Now that you mention it, I do remember some of the dwarves introducing themselves like that.

Me: "I was being bullied, so I told my parents!"
'Evil Wizzard: "Soooooo evil, it scares me!"
Actual Me: What's so evil about that?

Interesting, but sometimes the character's faces change so drastically I thought you were trolling us lol. Kinda funny though. Anyway enjoyed the game.

I found the Labyrinthine forest quite annoying, but that's because it took me two hours to find the squirrel. Loved the game, but that part killed it for me. 3/5, should be 5/5.
The forest should have been relatively easy. The squirrel is not obvious, but it can be found. Are you sure your desktop colours/brightness are set-up correctly?

i love how you wrote the story of how the game was made in the "secret", and i personally prefer this kind of philosophy games over action games, sadly its hard to find some which are as good as this one 5/5
i have just replayed the game, and when i get to the old mans story.... its so... sad? but good? its so true...

So I restarted the game and made it to the Tree of Death again. I'm happy to report that the bug didn't surface again and I was able to complete the game!
