Interesting game, i did not understand why you precise that there is no sound, is there a meaning for it? Graphics sue to your game anyway, good job.

Such a beautiful game.

It touches me deeply because I have a friend that suffers from anxiety and sleep issues. Very moving..

About the audio: Ok, so I put headphones on, then the instructions says there's no audio. Yet I still feel strangely affected by the silence. Quite hypnotic.

The graphics worked really well and I liked the fact you had no audio but asked for headphones - very atmospheric. Good job!

One of the more artistic games I've played so far, I loved the general atmosphere and the dream elements. Short but sweet.

Wow, what a great ...eh ...thing! I love the subtle details everywhere - the slight character movements, the "headphones recommended" notice... Great work!

Captivating! Thanks for the artistic approach. Some sound wouldn't hurt, I guess, but the silent headphones trick is very cool too )

Beautiful game with beautiful art with a beautiful and simple message, which to me was about conquering your fears and moving on.

I really loved this. To me, this is what browser gaming is all about - a platform to allow people to really get creative and do something different. It's like interactive art. Congratulations.

Great game, the mood is just awesome! And it is really interesting to play without sounds to!

The art style was really awesome. The reset button was a good call. Had to retry a couple of times. Good work.

It's very great to take the risk of a story telling game in a such small amount of time. Really enjoyed the mood, the story, the graphics and the puzzle (very simple but poetic and oniric). Definitely a wonderful experience! (I would love to hear some sounds on it).

Good game. More Art than game, actually :)

I said that because of your sound approach. The silence express more than any music. Very interesting ;)

I have to admit, that went over my head. Too artsy for my tiny scientific brain to understand.

Love the art.

Nice drawings. A point and click adventure with a difference.

As much surrealism as minimalism, but quite an interesting experience.

Very interesting game, and one is for sure, if you would have decided to add some ambient sound or such, the atmosphere could have been even better. I loved the visuals...

Nice concept.Though I didn't quite understand the point or
ending. 7/10

Interesting indeed. I could not play on Firefox Nightly, the controls would not work.

The gameplay is quite weird, it is not always obvious what the player should do. And most of all, I regret that there are no basic movement animations for the player and other two-legs characters.

The graphics are good, the theme is well respected, and the game is deep. And it's HTML5! (Crafty \o/)

Loved the hand-drawn graphics and despite the lack of sound, the story was actually quite interesting.

Nice mood, playing in silence was somehow gruesome, but fitting... Still wonder why you recomment headphones, though... :)
