Did anyone notice that you have to go DOWN the stairs into the darkness to reach the church? Lol, those guys were something like Satanists : The cat by the windows and when at the execution scene, you'll see demons under the bishop!

The man's name Jonah is a referance to the story of Jonah from the bible. In the bible, Jonah chose not to save the city. In this story, Jonah saved the city, but lost his life.

This game was nothing less than amazing. I actually felt sad, through the whole thing. But the ending the most about the choice he made for that one guy that was nice to him. I really wish there were more games like this. It's really nice to take a break from all the action, and fast paced games. And personally, I think I had a better experience with this, then any of those. Wonderful game.

sad and true ....very short....for the first time in ages i enjoy a point and click "story" i wont say game .... this one is better than being called a game. Jonah is a kind person with a deformity..... Out Casted.... he helped the guy with the glasses thats the policeman who chased him later ..... the lady in the church ignored him then killed the child..... the priest white robes
and dark soul .... Sigh.... every window in the church shows a shadow of a devil.... i didnt know what that means till the priest throws him out .... the hypnotizing guy i thought he might be an angel helping Jonah in his pursuit of happiness ... and punishing Loondon for its crimes... he spared Jonah's life , but Jonah didnt spare his own life for the sake of friendship .......goose pumps every where ..... If this game lasted longer than this i would have cried ..... loads of morals in a 10 min story...... thumps up for the good work 5/5

I think the man with the Hat and the Apple was representing God, who saw Loondon as a city full of sinners. He helped Jonah escape because Jonah was innocent. Instead Jonah sacrificed himself to save his friend, and in turn, the whole city. Beautiful, but sad, story. Stunning artwork. Great job.

Wonderful. Absolutely magnificent. This is one of those rare gems that are so hard to find, but SO fulfilling. I wept afterwards. 5/5. Again, wonderful.

I`have to say i`m kinda dissappointed. The drawing, the setting, the music in fact the whole atmosphere is quite good. But then there is no real gaming. I found myself just useful as clicking machine without any real purpose. I don`t even think that the problem is a lack of challenge....the fact that you dont really have to do anything just makes it kind of hard to be really drawn into the game. Not to mention that its very short. I just feel that the balancing between animation and actual game elements wasnt handled as good as possible.

Very beautiful story, and almost painful to play/read. It has an overall message, as far as many little underlying ones which help the story along. I am constantly searching for beautiful little games like this one with a story and some philosophy to make you think, and this is one of them. The beautiful and subtle art and music are wonderful as well.

This is very much like the hunchback of Notredame, except that the gypsy girl was hanged, not Quasimodo. :( This is so sad... *sniff.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, granted it's macabre ending. The story was a unique interpretation of the old grim tale of The Hunchback. Though it may not be considered a "game," more over as a digital book or interactive movie, it was a journey I shall not forget. You, my friend, have won this woman's appreciation!

@Charybdis1618033 i would like to make a small correction to your well liked comment. you said throwing out those that do not belong even though it is clear that you meant those that do not fit in. everyone with a good heart belongs. Xp sorry for being so an@l but one stroke is all it takes to change the entire meaning of a sentence.

On every single part I see tentacles.Whats up with that?Also that 3 eyed shadow that shows up when you enter Loondon.There is one on the booth at the start.Also one under the priest in the church,and while the ending when the guy is walking away.One is on the sign

I don't want to be disrespectful, but you could have told the story better without slapping on some kind of alibi-interactivity. Except for throwing the stick and the pointlessly easy machinery puzzle, you could've just put in a "forward" button. 2/5 for the absolutely brillant art and story.
