I rated the graphics highly, because they supported the idea of being in a dream very well for me - almost suggesting sound and form rather than spelling them out!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This really reminded of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman - also with perhaps a bit of a Cthulhu bent to it (though I think Sandman has that too if I recall correctly)?"},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"May 21, 2011 @ 7:28pm","epoch":1306005780,"text":"Lovely :)\r<br\/>Looks great and also plays good.
