as always fun and impressive,. I enjoy the style here, and yes the surreal trees are interesting,. could do with some sound effects,. although the music is great! perhaps a counter of stuff to find,. .

The style was excellent, my only complaint is what's stated above...at least give us a counter or something so that way we know how many events there are left in the map.

I don't see what this has to do with Lovecraft.
The kid states it was to mock some of Lovecraft's bad ideas. I'm sorry to inform you, son, but those bad ideas appear to have been all your own.

Did you read anything about the competition the game was made for? I actually used around 14 of Lovecraft's ideas in the game.
And yes, the game pretty much sucks. And that's my fault.

The game sux because when you complete the game, its show a single message. While to a single message as a ending is a lousy idea, the worst part its message last 3 or 4 seconds.. then automatically quit.
:-P
