Nice work, i liked how you turned a poem into a game (:

also i liked the game art, i just found a little confusing on what i had to do, but besides that, the game is really cool

The art is beautiful and the music and ambience captivating! Nice game! I wasn't able to save her tough... :( I explored a few diferent options but I had the same result in the end

I love the graphics so much! Sound is not working for me (or there is no sound in the game). I had a problems doing something at all I managed to get the scarf and then die by placing it over the lantern and overall I felt lost in the game but that is probably more issue with me than with the game.

Interesting idea, the mirror character is well built and the art looks very nice. I was actually surprised I could kill myself XD Wasn't sure how to actually advance in the game, but overall I liked it a lot ^-^

Thanks for all of the kind comments :)
The game was originally conceived more of an interactive fiction. The inventory was added late in the competition so the puzzles are limited.





*** KIND OF SPOILER ***
To access the winning ending: Grab the book before talking to the mirror and choose the option "Throw something". Then continue on with the conversation and you will have an alternate ending.

what a nice artwork, it is very unique, but it was a little difficult for me to find out what to do. But it is a really god one!

Nice artwork, could not save her and could not find another ending. Needs more item interactions.

Awesome artwork and smooth mechanics. I love that the text for the dialogue murmurs! :)

Very arty. I had a really good experience with this game. Possibly the first 5 for mood i've ever awarded.

Love the use of handpainted art for the game! Also interesting story, for real! I encourage to keep working on it. Also i have to congratulate you by using the Lady of Shalott for the theme of your game. It enriches you a lot! Good work!
