    Is unity on a down day for anyone else? It's taking ages to update... (Then again I haven't used it in a while)

    Just give it time, it is a big game. The graphics and play style reminded me of the old King's Quest games from Sierra.

    It was finally done loading. It showed me some pictures and... started loading again. :( Then my computer gave me a window saying Unity web player has unexpectedly shut down.

    you should download the game at www.olavandthelute.com

    the webversion is slow because the game is a bit bigger! the standalone version is way better anyway.

    Thanks!

    First?

    I did take awhile to load but once I finally got it up and running, it was a neat little game. Controls were a little off though. I see a lot of potential here for a much more complex set of tunes that can be combined to do different things. Maybe a future Bonte project?

    Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! I really want to play this one and it won't load! As soon as it gets past the intro I get a white screen that says "The content was stopped because a fatal content error has been detected.". :'(

    Well, seems to be heavily inspired by an old game form LucasArts called "Loom"

    A very nice concept for the game. I enjoyed finding the different lute spells. I was disappointed that you couldn't use the spells on other things besides their intended purpose though.

    **spoilers**oh my god. not even fair. I got all the way through the game, my guy was lying on the ground, not really sure if he's a live or not, the loom glows really bright, then boom. I get a white screen that says "fatal error."

    Thanks a bunch shelly alon for the link to the real game. Do you have to play the game all the way through in one sitting ?

    The game is fairly short, but you can use the spells on a few items for fun before awaking the loom. Might not want to finish as the very long credits make the lame ending a waste of time.
