Very beautiful game, but short and a little too simple. Although I didn't get completely through, because (I think) I screwed up, because I was too dumb to ask the drunkard about Derrida before I returned him to his wife. Some parts of the story are not linked at all to the hints the the townspeople give you; they come out of nowhere. Other than that, cool game! :)

For those of you complaining about the badge, I suggest reporting it. I have had to do that on a few games and the Kong is great about getting back to you and rewarding you the badge. :)

Well, this game escaped me. A nice unique game. Excellent music, even though there's not the all-important mute button.

The game was quite good, the artwork is quite amusing and the storyline keeps you interested throughout the gameplay. I didn't get the badge either, but it didn't make the game any less fun.

Unlike donteatacowman (who played the sequel first), I played this game first and loved it. For some reason, it's sequel "A Grain of Truth" is under the ones who actually wrote the story/game (I suppose the "created by" name was the publishing name?) Anyhow if you loved this game as much as I did, check out A Grain of Truth by mrudi and RudowskiMarek.

For all that are interested, here is a connected game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/mrudi/a-grain-of-truth?acomplete=a+grain+of+t
I'm not sure if this is a sequel or a prequel, but Myosotis is in it.

I just realized I missed the "Broken API" message for this game. To anyone who's going after the badge and wondering why they're not getting it, you have to report the missing/broken badge and send screenshot proof you completed the game.

May I ask how to scroll up and down in the stories or conversations? I can see the up/down arrows, but can't really scroll using either my mouse or keyboard

Charming interactive tale you've wrought here. Full of ambiance.
A fairy tale within a fairy tale.
This is really a wonderful way to tell stories, not a novel, not a comicbook, not a film - but it's own thing.
Full marks.

I keep coming up one puzzle piece short, even after resurrecting the man. You see, there should be an icon that says, "Deidera's identity", but it won't appear.

This is why pastel games makes the best point and click games, their detail, storyline, plot, and many others contribute to a great game, and this game has all of it 100%

This is a great game, it has beautiful artwork, music that fits the scenery perfectly, and point & click mechanics that aren't frustrating (major plus). I loved how you found the story in bits and pieces, much like the way a real story is created. 5/5, and again i must say, beautiful work.

Another bug: If you accidentally click the exit button when the amulet or bottle are in the process of being dipped, the items are lost.

@ drachefly, you need all the other pieces of the story first, he just gives you a piece (usually the last one) once u have all of the pieces you have the story and can give it to the mayor

I had to restart after a game breaking bug. On my first play-through I was just exploring without asking about Derrida. Once I then started asking about him I got the right replies but I did not get the center piece of the story (the portrait of Derrida in the story book).

Glitch- if you click away during the animation of the potion bottle scooping up the potion, you can't finish the gam.

This is an awesome game, very good art and nice music too, 5/5
needs fixing(and tips for future games): a few grammatics aren't right and the screen is a little too big.
Thank you for a great game and i hope you will continue this story.

Maybe if the game fit the damn screen...? As it is I can't stand playing it. In my Firefox browser the game window doesn't fit.

Nice game.
The only problem I had was that the game field did not quite fit my browser window, so I had to do a lot of scrolling up and down.
Still, very enjoyable. The artwork was lovely, and the point where I only had half the story in disconnected pieces very haunting. The ending was sad.
