It was rather boring, but I still gave you 4 stars overall because of innovation.

I couldn't understand only why it flips to next page when I go at purple glow? I mean, isn't there other goal in each page?"},{"author_name":"OinkIguana","author_uid":"38828","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:41pm","epoch":1409081760,"text":"Wandered a bit and collected some things, gave it to some people, but really was kind of confused the whole time. Seemed like it could have been interesting with more explanation.\rPretty well silent, and graphics were not particularly great. All white and the text went over everything no matter where you looked from. Walking was very slow and the viewing perspective made it unfriendly to play."},{"author_name":"Nut","author_uid":"31779","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:45pm","epoch":1409082000,"text":"Took a couple minutes to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing, and how to go back and forth between pages. I finished a couple of stories, but when I went back to page 1 to finish that story I got stuck in the castle (I must have clipped through the wall somehow? But the gate is too small for me to exit). Nice idea, but would have been better in 2D without the zooming-in bit."},{"author_name":"Moocowsgomoo","author_uid":"26479","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:47pm","epoch":1409082120,"text":"Very cool idea, and unique use of the theme.\rI made the potato salad, but couldn't find an exit from there - is that the end?"},{"author_name":"parahunter","author_uid":"2550","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 10:58pm","epoch":1409179980,"text":"Neat idea but really bugged.

That makes sense for a normal game inventory.\r\rSeriously, this is a brilliant idea. I would have love to play more. This is a perfect kids game too.

Very ambitious idea, have you read the Woody Allen short story "The Kugelmass Episode" ? Got to the Dragon cube but think that the game is somewhat broken, maybe you need to watch a few people play it for the first time to see how they get confused... Inventory button zooms back out of book, for example ? I hope you persist with this project. Good job!"},{"author_name":"igoramendola","author_uid":"31253","time":"Sep 3, 2014 @ 6:49am","epoch":1409726640,"text":"Really nice idea and the gameplay is innovative.
