Under rating threshold (show) This game was sweet! I like the story. For some reason "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" kept poping up in my mind.. 5/5 Stars!

Under rating threshold (show) Clicked all the eyeballs. I was not disappointed. You fine sir, have created a game amusingly zany, wickedly nonsensical, and with immensely entertaining dialogue. I salute you.

Under rating threshold (show) You know, as soon as I saw "a capybara may be too large to use efficiently" I was hooked. Major kudos to the developer, and there goes my weekend. And I was going to make bread, too! :D

Under rating threshold (show) The quality of the writing, the artwork and the setting is something way beyond anything most mainstream games could ever hope to accomplish. This is a brilliant, unique and (only slightly) demented offering. 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) Excellent game with an actual storyline that brings something unique to the table. Not a throwaway game. Kong needs more creativity like this. 5/5. :)

Under rating threshold (show) Replaying this game after so many years reimpresses how much I appreciate the humor and thought-provoking dialogue. Not to mention how I can basically interact with everything and rediscover a unique and usually amusing description! I adore the gradual world-building, and like how whomever we've previously interacted, so long as it was relevant, we can discuss current goings-on, on whatever we've discovered. It adds depth to your actions, as well as the story. :) I've loved this game and still truly find it so inspiring. I'm delighted of the replayability, and I'm very thankful of this experience.

Under rating threshold (show) 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.

Under rating threshold (show) 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!

Under rating threshold (show) This "game" is absolutely hilarious, especially the forest of the eyeballs. I was crying with laughter. I'm sure JonasKyratzes is some kind of a comedian.

Under rating threshold (show) A beautiful game. There were a couple times where I laughed out loud and got weird looks and anything with so many wonderful references CAN'T be bad. The ending made me smile and nod in quiet understanding of the beautiful message contained inside and I am happy to say I am enriched by this. Excellent work, and I look forward to more of Raven's adventures in the future.

This is a great little game with an amusing characters, an nice concise story, and a wonderful message at the end. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Under rating threshold (show) I simply loved the game. The reading got me sucked straight into the story. Heck, I even clicked every single eyeball, book and bottle, just to make sure I saw every pun ^^. I'm feeling happy now :). 5/5!

Under rating threshold (show) Wow, impressive! You put a lot of time working on every little detail here. Well done. And quite funny too. I was surprised when I was at the bar and every single bottle had its own unique description. Great job.

Under rating threshold (show) "Apparently there was another sighting of depressing grandmothers near Port Marmalade. They are rolling out their anti-aircraft guns, but its so hard to predict their movements".........WHAT? shooting anti-aircraft guns at depressing grandmothers... I just don't even compute the awesomeness levels there.

Under rating threshold (show) Not even five minutes in and already several references to H.P. Lovecraft. I'm willing to bet that most Kongregators are not as well read as I, but know that they did not go unnoticed or unappreciated, Jonas!

Under rating threshold (show) This won't be everyone's cup of tea but it's a rich, heartwarming, optimistic game which has obviously had a lot of love poured into it. In a world of drab grey shooters and orc-ridden RPGs, this game dares to actually do something beautiful and say something wonderful about life. I think we need more games like this.
