I love all of the references packed into this game, like if you talk to Basil the Innkeeper about the Foret of Eyeballs, he says there's a witch named Baba Yaga there, which is a reference to a russian tale, in which "Baba Yaga" is a witch who lives in a walking house (Ya, I grew up in a russian family) and when I read that a terrible witch named Baba Yaga lived in the Forest of Eyeballs I burst up laughing and instantly gave this game a 5 star rating.

Beautiful.
For all of us that have lost track of time while reading a book this is a charming piece of our lives. Thanks for reminding me of the simple and yet fulfilling pleasure of living many lifes through stories.

This is an amazing game, and it really does seem as if you are inside the story. I loved everything about it, the music, the history, the characters, the details, everything!
What is there not to like?

I am really enjoying this game. It is also funny how you have included things from the real world (books, N'grath - which I got from google -, etc). Although I'm not so hep on reading games from the start, this one is very funny, entertaining, and pleasant to read. Great music to boot! Thank you for making this.

The story was simple, but charming. I loved that practically everything in the backgrounds had a description. The characters were all interesting, and the art is great. It has started my day off on a good note. :]

A wonderfully written game with lots of surprises despite the simplicity! Reading the lovely descriptions makes it great.

Wow. I feel amazingly at peace, and my eyes watered a little at the last sentence. For Jonas and Verena, this must have been a labour of love. I feel honoured to have been allowed to share in it.

Wonderful game. Yes it requires more reading than the average flash game, but come on people. I loved how much descriptive detail there was! I couldn't believe every eyeball had a different description!

I was a little dismayed at first at finding tons of text, but as the story progresses and the music in all its simplicity drew me in, I couldn't stop reading. The little touches put in like the descriptions of eyeballs was good, and the witty comments were interesting. I like the hidden meanings in the story and I thought the ending was pretty "complete" in the sense that there wasn't any loose ends. Good job!

I'm sure people would vote higher if there were some Kong integration. And the possibility of badges, for reading this wonderful story ;D

i got excited when the crocodile talked about the witch "Baba Yaga"- thought "The Hut on Fowl's Legs" would play when you meet her.

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!

altho the story is completely different i feel like i have played a sequal to one of my most favorite games..i felt so much joy when i read about bob the spider and i liked all the characters alot..still i think the game is a bit too short, because i feel there is much more to see in dream land :(

They really have a lot of wierd references in this game. I.E. if you check out the books in the lair, one is by Patrica Tannis, titled "Twenty Ways of Cooking a Destroyer". Patrica Tannis was a character in the 2009 RPG shooter Borderlands (awsome game BTW, check it out) who ended up going insane after her science team died, and the destroyer was the end boss of one of the DLC packs. LOL WUT???

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.

So many eyeballs in the forest of eyeballs. I do not even know how many times I've said "eyeball" in the course of going through the forest of eyeball and in the course of typing this eyeball-themed eyeball comment.

"On closer inspection, this is not a flower, but a bit of unicorn poo, it does smell of flowers though." LAWL! I am inlove with this game @_@

True, a lot of these kinds of games are very text heavy and that does turn the gamer off, however, I found that the level of text in this game was appropriate. Now, the level of the dialogue was not "impressive" but was appropriate for the setting of the game. It took me back to children's books-- mostly the phantom toll-booth.

@AlexanderHad its a point and click game, it fits the Genre and its mostly about the writing not interacting
And the quirky names fit the setting, which is an allusion to childrens books as well as fantasy/scifi culture

Sorry to have to be the bad guy here but I do love mature games and I have no problem with any amount of reading whatsoever. But this game, despite an interesting concept and well made soundtrack and visuals, has two severe problems. One is lack of interactivity: for the most part, progress is simply a matter of exhausting dialogue trees. The only puzzle in the game that felt remotely like one was the one involving the devil eye-more like that would have gone a long way towards making this feel more like a game and less like an interactive novel. Moreover, the writing itself is somewhat uneven and would benefit from a degree of restraint-10 quirky fantasy-land names in a row do not necessarily help establish mood. These minor imporovements could help make a followup effort truly special.

Mon Dieu, que c'est chiant ! (Goodness, how boring!)
And I hadn't read all the text. No invention in it (all that I've read was mere plagiary), no game (just a basic labyrinth). Drawings are poor, and so is the repetitive music (looks like a "grant" from klezmere).
Chiant de chez chiant. (Boring from boring's)
A whole nothing.

Story and artwork are adorable, and work very well together; no combat (this is a good thing), and even if the puzzles are straight forward the whole is very enjoyable. Well done.
