The story isn't that great, but the medium is just awesome. The drawings make very good use of the effects, the frame-less scrolling is interesting, and the sounds also help set the atmosphere. Impressively good work. Very very well done, and I hope to see more like this!

The story blew me away! Very compelling, it drew me right in with the combination of animation, audio and story elements. Would sure like to know how Audrey is handling herself now. Perhaps time for a sequel?

Amazingly reinvent the comics for the phone as a media. I just wonder why it needs access to my contacts and internet connection to start the app once media has been installed.

This is a terrific example of how to use modern technology to expand comic strip art. The use of side scrolling and combined with subtle sound and animation add depth to an absorbing story of myths, science and personal trauma.

In philliana you don't just read the novel, you EXPERIENCE it. I've never felt so immersed in a book. The music perfectly sets the mood and the story is very well paced. I could feel the character's tension and fear and in some moments my heart nearly stopped with excitement and anxiety. I'm showing this to everyone I know. I hope there's more to come because this is the first time I've ever read something as beautiful as this.

Being ill I've had the time to go through this without any long interruptions. It was entrancing and well executed. ☺ The weird sounds gave me a headache sometimes, though.

K70%
by K####:

I am a fan of the drawn story, but the use of parallax effect and audio enhances this story immensely in a way that compliments the primary visuals. It does however feel like the first part of a longer story as the ending is a little weak.
