"It seems someone is actually thinking about this grave." Then why did you take its bell clapper?! Surely you could have found something else to ring the bell... unless Madam Butterfly only opens the door to the exact, distinct sound only a clapper makes. :D Oh Myosotis, we still love our pretty little klepto.

Two things people seem to agree on, It's a beautiful game that everyone wants the sequal to, and not a lot of people who complete the game are getting the badge.

Didn't get the badge neither... too bad, but still a great piece of a game. Could be longer (a WAY longer wouldn't hurt)

Great game, and the sequel is even better if you can get it to play. (It worked for me on Safari, which I normally never use.) Unfortunately the badge here still doesn't work...

I like how the husband becomes just an item in your inventory and you can use him like any other item :D 5/5 for man-trading

Beautifully done game. Engaging characters and a flawlessly seamed art style really kick this game over the edge into amazing. The background story certainly isn't skimped on either.

The potion bottle is in the tavern on the rack of shelves behind the barman. +Up so people can see, because it seems people are having trouble with this. =/

5/5 -- I absolutely love the art style. This is among my favorite artwork/styles I've seen on Kong to date. Great music. Neat story. Really, you got so much right here!

Amazing game! The story, the art, the music too! The badge seem to be broken though, i've seen others comment that too. If you didn't get the badge either, don't hesitate to subbmit a "report missing achivment". It won't be fixed if no one knows it's brooken:)

Instead of reporting that the badge doesn't work in the comments if you report it to the Kongregate support staff (with a screenshot) they will award you the badge.

I found "A grain of truth" some days ago ... glad I was able to play this part, too. Love this story and hope for more. (No badge here, too)

Brilliant! A no quibble 5 star rating right there! The story was compelling, the artwork beautiful, and the panel animation was the icing on the cake.

This is a sublime game. It is quite simple and easy, but it is the music, sounds, and scenery that makes this game a pleasure to play. Not only that, but this game has inspired me to finally learn to program games myself, which is quite a feat, considering my actual lack of RL time. That is in no small part the reason I enjoy this game site all of us share. Very fun game.

I love everything about it except for the lack of a sequel. I want to know the forgotten past of Myosotis. You can't just start a story and not end it. It's just mean doing that.

Some times you can´t finish the story. You need to talk with every NPC before asking for the man, and be sure to take control of the drunk man before talking to the drawned.

Thank you to the Rudowski Brothers for this wonderful story... Just remember to ask every single person you meet about Derrida because that is how you will find every single piece of the puzzle before you can complete the game. I ready love the Trader of Stories Series... simply mysterious and excellent!

I can't think of a fantasy-edged-with-science-fiction story with such gorgeous worldbuilding (and art!) since Carla Speed McNeil's "Finder" series. The depth of the world behind this short adventure is staggering, in addition to intriguing and interest-piquing. Everything from race and culture, to domestication and architecture, to spirituality and even the insular nature of small villages, is so much more developed than in any other game I can think of.
Do NOT miss Marek Rudowski's blog, where you can see the artwork and read about the development process for the larger adventure comic / game "The Big Old Tree That Dreamed," AKA "The Trader of Stories," which "The Bell's Heart" (this game) is just a small part of! It's at traderofstories.blogspot.com and is a must-read for anyone who enjoyed playing the Pastel-Games-licensed first 'episode' here.

So after buying the recipes and casting the spells you can sell the recipes back to the trader... for the same price you bought them. I wonder how does this guy make profit

A wonderful game with enchanting music, beautiful art, a lovely - if haunting - story, a good interface and is an engaging idea very well executed. Well done and thank you - keep up the good work :)
