Imaginary Friends

The story unfortunately has a plot-hole, why did (older) Oliver make an appearance after he had 'disappeared' post Hailey's new friendship. Even If we assume that after Alice stepped out of her life Oliver thought of a come-back, It is in middle school, half way through, that Oliver decides to show up, as Hailey is lonely again! It is not well explained.
As for the dialogues, it updates for almost every character after events. Even some of the NPCs who did not trigger the game's ending (like the guy who lends you his house key, later after bringing day to the cloud kingdom he wishes that he had not given his key but we return it to him). I also found the rude dialogues of the people in the market effective it made me feel for Hailey.

Of all endings, the #4 made me sad. Why did Hailey reject bringing Oliver back with her and leaving him. I became sad especially after looking at the CG where Oliver is present but not visible to Hailey as if he's a ghost. Would it be predictable to make him appear as a new student to Hailey's school and him having hazy memories of being friends with Hailey (TヘTo)

I do seem to doubt the existence of the older oliver(but still like him and would love to see more of him in the game), but do understand that there would not have been a little character twist in the game, It creates a confusion in the logic but he is an imaginary friend after all he might have grown to not show his true form yet! Also little Oliver seem to be taller than he should be at his age (in a CG)but then I told my sister that he might have drank camel's milk :P

There is an optional puzzle in the market where you give eggs to a lady or may be one more (don't remember), which is astounding. There are a number of explorable options like the drawing which affects the ending and the shovel.
I had the same strategy for my, now cancelled, game in which I kept on thinking to change the strategy from ending depending on various choices to getting all the pages which will be still obtainable before exiting the map for good, which I found as a better option :)
The pros of the game-play are that it had fresh and unexpected events such as the doll with ugly clothes dismantling (was startling)and then not following after us after exiting the room. Another doll getting 'smashed' was grotesque for me, getting inside the TV (I did believe they were going to chase after exiting too), taking the rope I was not expecting that monster to be immobile there :P!! it startled me. The stepping tiles were amazing as well as the treasure hunt. All the puzzles in school were phenomenal, the exams went all well for me :P of course I googled :D. Even though I found the library a bit too interactive with searching a lot, (I would like the bookshelves with no info to not respond) It was a good play with the hints leading to discover little Alice and the events that occurred after. A con, maybe, I found was that some of the doors would open when going near them while most of them needed an action button (enter\z key)to be pressed.

The cloud kingdom being a kingdom seems fair and the elementary school being a school seems fair too but the former had a lot of walkway all the way from left side to the right, and latter had more rooms at the corner or all the way to the back side in the building. Considering there were shadows of the kids dwadling around which are not to be touched!

The skydive scene which was beautiful. The scene where Oliver is trapped in the alley before he is taken away by the shadow. and other countable short scenes that I don't remember. my sister and I found the monster laugh funny :p
