Beautiful. Sweet and funny and poignant, and all together in such a way they are all balanced. Interactive fiction indeed. Good book noise happened at the end.

this actually managed to bring a tear to my eye, as i thought of my own aging cat and how much i miss her when i am at college. this game is an amazing piece of artwork, and should be encouraged.

I love going through bookcases, you can find the most interesting things... And particularly mysterious things as well. In this case, they were blue and green.

i love the Land of Dream games, and the way they all connect. They are so well crafted, and the music is just beautiful. Thank you for making this game, and all the other ones.

That was...Intense. I mean seriously...You don't get hand-drawn games these days! No but seriously, I might not have cried like the rest of these blubbering humans but it was pretty unique, really.

I have been a gamer my entire life. When thinking of the games that have been my favorites over the years, I tend to think of Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Castlevania, etc. Story-based adventure games have always been particular favorites, for which I've always credited the old-school Sierra and LucasArts adventures such as King's Quest and Monkey Island. But none of those old games, not even my all-time favorite classic Gabriel Knight, has ever moved me the way these silly little flash games have. I actually cried at the end of this, and I'm not the least bit ashamed. I'm just rather struck by the somewhat ironic fact that I can be more deeply affected by a short, free online game than I've ever been by any of the vast-reaching commercial endeavors which have been central to my life as a gamer for decades. It just goes to show that art created solely out of love has infinitely higher potential than anything created with the intention of making money. Keep up the amazing work, Mr. Kyratzes!

An amazingly evocative game, even more so than any of JonasKyratzes's others here... which is saying a heck of a lot! Just play it, there is no way to describe the story or the atmosphere, it is just beautiful, feeling and ... wow - what can you say after that, just ... wow. Thank you (^_^)

This is one of the few games that should go in a category of its own, Art. Jonas has made games with an amazing ability to touch my heart, and I cried after this game. I think it was the music that did it. It deserves a 5/5 from everyone.

Well this was unexpected, the music goes wonderfully with it. It's put me in a very peaceful and contemplative mood. Story telling at its finest 5/5. My eyes may also be a little damp.

This box is bigger on the inside. It contains a TARDIS, which in turn contains a box just like this with another TARDIS inside. LOL!

A better tale of a much loved cat I have never heard. Beautifully reminded me of the furry ones I miss :) It's not often a big ugly hulk like me sniffles away but this little tale made me tear up like Gwyneth.

A stunning, stunning game. After I finished, I just sat in my chair for a while, thinking. Not many things can make me do that.

I really was not expecting the emotional impact this game would have. A both happy and sad ending, and one that is shockingly powerful. *sniff* I'M NOT CRYING!

i was really influenced by the feelings this game brought... then i remembered that moment before entering the tent that that person said that cats lie and to never trust them... how he's a pirate... say... where's my wallet?

The hand-drawn design reminds me of childrens books I used to read when I was young, and by the end I was in tears. Absolutely beautiful game.

You don't need to kill things or solve over elaborate puzzles to make a good game. All you need is a good story, and I think that this game is a perfect example of that.

Wow. This was beautiful and touching. I liked seeing some old faces from the first game, and I'm glad we got to learn more about Screech. Gonna go cuddle with my cat now...

I played this right after I had played the book of living magic. after quickly learning that this game was a direct sequel to that one, I immediately became invested, as I thought I knew exactly what to expect. Boy was I wrong. with screech being one of he most hilarious characters in the book of living magic, I loved this game both because of the fact that I got to live through another story in the land of dreams, and because of finally knowing the story behind screech. plus, who doesn't love comparing emperor palpatine and pope benedict XVI?
5/5

I cannot express the tremendous amount of joy and ecstasy I felt when I saw this was a sequel to the book of living magic.
