Wonderful atmosphere.
Went the way of the dryad and marvelled at your words.
Although the ending is not very surprising it is a strong theme and resonates with human life.

Nice story - I think that inclusion of some ambient music in the background would be very beneficial for immersion.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this. Beautifully written. Really felt like my decisions could have a huge impact on the story.

Good work...

Quite fascinating to play; to watch and engage in the development and connection of the two worlds. It is generally well written -- maybe a few trite, almost cliched, lines -- but the writing is usually distinctively odd and weird enough to maitain interest. I do really like the approach to colours in telling the story also.

Interesting, but highly restrictive.

Woah, that was intense. Really great concept and beautifully written. Kept me playing until the end and even reloaded to see the different possible endings! "BASK IN THE GLORY OF YOUR FLAME LORD!!!"

Good job.

I liked the floaty writing style making me feel like some kind of conciousness that was unwilling to commit to anything when I kept getting the choice to change my mind. I also liked the use of coloured text to make the 'Connected Worlds' part very obvious.
I don't know if it was just 'a ending' or the ending I got after the longest play through but the ending with 'The End' at the bottom was really cool.

The storyline was great. Also it's the first time I see this type of game !

I'm not big on these types of games usually, but this story was nice.

Nice story! Love the way you've color-coded phrases related to the two "elements." Great work!
