Added new ren'py special effects. Artwork has been completely revamped. Changed the midi music to ogg files.
Very colorful story.
<p>
<p>
<p>It was well written, and drawn.
<p>
<p>
<p>I liked the message of the story that we shouldn't be angry at each other for trivial things.
<p>
<p>
<p>It lets you bookmark areas of the book you want to go back to...however it only takes 5-7 min to read.
Cons
This isn't a game...its a storybook. How this is clasified as an adventure GAME only CNET knows.
<p>
<p>
<p>The blood and violence was not needed.
<p>
<p>
<p>This game SCREAMS for a voiceover. Since the game is all reading, it would have been nice if had voices instead.
<p>
<p>
<p>In the decription it says it's made for kids however its not approperate for kids under 10.
<p>
<p>They havn't improved anything since I last reviewed it. So it goes down a star.
Summary
Sad :(

Pros
The artwork in this visual storybook was lovely and well done.
<p>The idea of a visual storybook is unique and fantastic, I hope to see more of these in the future!
Cons
This book appeared to be geared towards children.
<p>I am not a child but I downloaded it anyway.
<p>Call me a geek, but I just love fantasy.
<p>I was a bit disappointed in this to say the least.
<p>The storyline was quite tragic for a children's story.
<p>I would NOT have a child watch this.
<p>Also, it could have been my imagination, but I thought I caught a lot of political propaganda in the story as well.
<p>I could be wrong though, I have become rather cynical over the years.
<p>Other than the storyline itself this is a beautiful little "book".
Summary
This isn't a game.
