Never heard of it (or the devs) before, although I constantly look out for decent adventure games. Shame on me! This is game is exceptional. Creative (artwork, riddles, music). Philosophical (how to try to understand a strange world). Psychological/ deeply human (from how to deal with traumata to what letting birds breed on your head may cause ^^). And it is a great example of how to put fun and even memes and gags into a earnest game without disrupting its deeper story. I wanted to play a little adventure - and found myself blown away for about three hrs (about 1/2hr just for trying to ask a particular 'egg-head' about half a dictionary of words XD) without regretting it. And I definitively want more. :-)

Fantastic. Clues and item interactions actually made sense, rather than the random trial and error many some other point and clicks seem to employ.

I've already been at this for almost half an hour and I haven't gotten anywhere. :/ Too confusing for me. Love the art in the game though.

I can't get all the thoughts. I have done everything, including looking uo three different walkthroughs. This is so frustrating :( But otherwise 5/5 (can't blame the makers for my stupidity, can I?) :D

Beautiful, stunning, perfect. Along with William and Sly, one of those very rare games that's genuinely uplifting and left me with a smile on my face. Major kudos to Messrs Rudowski, and an unconditional 5/5.

This game actually succeeded in distracting me from one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies. Absolutely amazing! I can't wait for whatever comes next from Rudowski Brothers!

Bugged on Firefox 43.0.2 and Chrome 47.0.2526.106 m and "Report a bug" option is not available. I click on every menu item and nothing happens. :(

I love the sense of humor in this game! "Oops! Looks like I need more practice cutting with an ax. I broke it and the rope fell down. Oh well, I still have the blade!"

Again! I remember playing the previous version before and it wasn't as detailed but the same breathtaking scenes and beautiful artwork that was made even more better in this version. The gameplay is interesting and the plot... mysterious.
I would have prefered to be able to rewind the cut scenes that I accidentally clicked though.(Like when the asking the old traveller) Enchanting and Moving.

People say when you look at clouds, you see the thoughts of the gods. Funny, cause to me it seems all they ever think about is clouds.

I look forward to playing more of these!
It's a very pretty and nicely story-driven game.
I'm sad that it seems that so (relatively) few people have played it....

@choky Well, they add achievements only after enough people rated it high enough, so kind of counterproductive to retract points for that!

someone should really spread the word that this is the sequel of Trader of Stories, I didn't know this exsisted until like 2 years after playing the that....-_-

I have a feeling. Maybe there are lots of spoilers hide in the right questions to the wiseman... It´s just a feeling.
Love the game!

If anyone has trouble starting, and you use NoScript with Firefox, be sure to allow zamolski.com in addition to the normal Kongregate servers.

Is anyone else having difficulty starting the game? The "new game" button recedes when I click it, but the game doesn't start.

It's great how using each item gives a specific reaction instead of some generic "does not work" response. Love the art too.
