The Trader of Stories (also known as The Big Old Tree That Dreams) is a series of indie Adventure Games set in the very beautiful world of Forest Bed. The games, produced by the Polish brothers Marek and Marcin Rudowski [1] are of the point-and-click sort and web-based — just click the link to play.The Protagonist, a young woman named Myosotis, is a traveler who makes it her business to buy stories from people — because, suffering a severe case of Laser-Guided Amnesia, she hopes to find the story that is her own. In flashback / story sequences the player characters are the protagonists of the particular story told by Myo, eg. for Willow's part of Chapter I the point-of-view character is Willow.The developers' blog is found here.All the games can be found here, on the official site.The series so far consists of: Bell's Heart (2010): When her cart breaks down, Myosotis is forced to stop in a small town with quite a romantic legend of a haunted lake. In the course of her investigation, she discovers how romantic the story really is. Since the server it had originally been hosted on had gone Among the Roots, the game was temporarily unavailable until it got re-released in 2024 with some tweaks. Play it here. A Grain of Truth (2012): To be able to proceed with her search of the Wiseman who might know where to find her past, Myosotis must first unravel the mystery of the Floating Rocks. Play it here or here. Trader of Stories, Chapter I (2016): Set before A Grain of Truth, this installment begins with our protagonist waking up in the Forest of Dancing Trees, remembering absolutely nothing about her own life. Named "Little Willow" by the locals, she makes herself more or less at home in the village. But even deep in the forest, danger lurks. Play it here. Trader of Stories, Chapter II (2019): After spending nearly a Blossoming in the human city of Bark, Little Willow's life seems fairly ordered. She works as a waitress and storyteller in Gofung's teashop, has aquaintances, if not friends, and generally makes do. But the amnesia still bothers her, alongside an odd sense of not belonging. Until a Tall, Dark, and Handsome mysterious guest arrives... Play it here. Trader of Stories, Chapter III (2023): Having finally learned her real name and that she has a sister (who's worried sick), Myosotis leaves Bark for her home village. Once there, she begins rediscovering her early life - and not everything she learns is pleasant. Play it here. |

comment |
Excessive Mourning: Fryme has become The Alcoholic because of her son's death and her husband's subsequent disappearance. One of Myo's tasks in this episode is to help her get her life back on track. Targov, who's lost his daughter about the same time Fryme lost her son, refuses to move anything in her room and will move heaven and earth to find her again, as he knows for a fact Reyle's still alive. |

Chariot Pulled by Cats: Husks, like Myo's Zephyr, fill the niche of oxen/cows, although they look somewhat reptilian, grow bigger than houses and have shells they regularly shed as they grow (also a reptilian trait). The cloud eater in A Grain of Truth is... an elephant-giraffe-sauropod... whatever that carries a ship-like structure on its back. |

Title Drop: Myosotis is known around the land as the Trader of Stories. The title is properly dropped in Chapter III in her conversation with Gaetana. The fact that the Big Oak "dreams" is also mentioned. Its dreams form the clouds. The floating stones from the Grain of Truth are Oak's dreams in their crystalized form. |

comment |
Twist Ending: Myo manages to connect with the Oak and see glimpses of her past, which are confusing, as well as a vision of the future (possibly), which is even more confusing. After she leaves, the Wiseman is visited by the Messenger who reminds him "the girl" can never be allowed to know... something. |

The Exile: In Chapter II, Scath was exiled by the Shadowchildren for reasons he doesn't elaborate upon. The reasons for Dew's exile are unearthed by Myo in Chapter II. After the Divine Conflict, those of the First Born who were on the wrong (or just the losing) side got exiled into the Void. Cedar, however, was only guilty of getting too close to Hazel. |

Alternative Calendar: The Forest Bed equivalent of a year is a "Blossom". "Breath" roughly equals a day. This is because the light in this world comes from the Great Tree, in twenty-four hour "breath/shadow" cycles resembling our days and nights, while the Tree's blossoming marks years. |

Accent Adaptation |

comment |
Accent Adaptation: The Polish version of Bark slang is based on bałaka (with hints of thieves' cant, since several of the characters Myo meets are thieves). The English version is inspired by cockney. Similarly, the speech of some inhabitants of Myo's home village is inspired by Polish Highlander dialect. The English version takes some cues from Somerset accent. |

comment |
Parental Abandonment: Myo and Neesan's mother died when Myo was four Blossomings old, and their father was killed rescuing a child on the meadows not long after that. Coni's father is not in the picture, period - Neesan denies both Myo's guesses as to who he is and generally just keeps mum on the subject. Vozi's father went missing right after conceiving the child (in a one-night stand) and definitely never even knew he was a father in the first place. Hvarfa also had a baby as a young woman, with a guy who didn't even stay for breakfast. She had to give her son up for adoption and is very sympathetic to Reyle and Neesan. |

We also learn how he became the Messenger in the first place. The locals seem to treat the Messenger with a sort of superstitious dread, but he himself is just doing his job. |

Bed Trick: In Bell's Heart a girl in the village did this to Derrida, causing said person to become the ghost in the lake. And the real father of the present-day mayor. In Chapter III, Myo discovers she herself had tricked an unwanted suitor to have sex with Reyle (who was in love with him and thought Myo's just arranged for them to meet at her secret place outside of the village). This one also resulted in a baby, and in a thorough upsetting of several people's lives. |

Awful Truth: A Grain of Truth hints there might be something really, really bad in Myo's past, and the Wiseman knows all about it. But won't tell. In Chapter III the Messenger of Death recognises her. Sure, this may simply mean she's been present at someone's death before losing her memory, but... |

Both Sljed and Ashur were head-over-heels with Myo, who didn't really care about either of them but hated the thought of somebody else being in (unrequited) love with Ashur enough to arrange an elaborate revenge on the innocent girl and the equally innocent guy. |

He also communes with the Tree, and so does Myo, using the notes she finds in his workshop. By Chapter III Myo has worked out she's literally been having tea with one of the First Born. She also, quite amicably, shares a bottle of wine with the Guardian Rain. |

Fantastic Racism: A mild example in Bell's Heart, as it's unheard of for humans and Butterflies to marry; while not an open hate thing, it still causes tragedy.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_598513bb |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Neesan had been the responsible older sibling and all around Parental Substitute to Myo, whom she's seen more like a Bratty Teenage Daughter than a sister. Now they're adults, but Neesan still tends to think ahead more. |

Holy Is Not Safe |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_5bd1083d |
comment |
Holy Is Not Safe: The Oak's sap can send you on a Vision Quest, but you're not guaranteed to get back. The Servants typically undergo strenuous preparation before they partake. A mortal can use a Guardian sword. Once. See Chapter II for how they die. Touching the Messenger can deaden the nerves in your hand. People also tend to avoid his gaze, because it supposedly brings bad luck. Even the immortal Guardians prefer not to meet him. |

Our Ghosts Are Different: The story Myo discovers is about Derrida's death, and she does get to meet his ghost, right where he drowned. Derrida knows he's dead, is furious about it and haunts the lakeshore like a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl, but he's male and rather hunky at that, looking for all the world like a random tanned guy on a swim. He's Barred from the Afterlife by his turbulent emotions regarding how he died and gets to move on once Myo calms him down. |

All Love Is Unrequited: In Bell's Heart, Derrida had been a Chick Magnet extraordinaire, but only had the eyes for a specific young lady, leaving the other girls sighing. In Chapter I, both Juni and Omorica are in love with Pinutros, who loves Juni. In Chapter II, Ugo is in love with our heroine. The player can choose whether or not to reciprocate. Chapter III, being lighter on puzzles and heavier on character drama, reveals how boys tended to go crazy about Myo in her youth, but none was actually loved back. Also, Reyle was madly in love with Ashur, who was madly in love with Myo. |

Floral Theme Naming |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_9723a8b8 |
comment |
Floral Theme Naming: Myosotis is the scientific name of the "forget-me-not" flower. The First Born are all named directly after trees. The Dancing Trees tend to take their personal names from botanical nomenclature, if not as straightly as the First Born. |

Stay in the Kitchen |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_9cbf01d6 |
comment |
Stay in the Kitchen: The Dancing Trees have a traditionalist society where men typically become soldiers and guards while young women all work in the nursery, caring for the seedlings, until they take root and begin bearing seeds of their own. This probably has a strong biological component (becoming immobile is an intrinsic part of their life cycle). Still, Aceru (who has a strong wanderlust) and Omorica (who simply hates children) chafe against their role, while Moralba just takes life as it comes and Juni is cheerful about everything. |

Hidden Elf Village: The forest of Dancing Trees, for all its The Lost Woods decorations, is one of these. Secluded? Check. Populated by a very traditional, yet (mostly) friendly to the lost, helpless protagonist Close-Knit Community of sentients not often met in The Outside World? Yup. The Dancing Trees generally keep to their own little corner and lead people away with Lothlorien ranger-like techniques if anyone wanders in. |

| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_d29a6629 |
comment |
Death by Childbirth: Sljed's mother. He himself thinks this is why his father resents him so much. Myo's mother didn't die in childbirth, but the resulting complications left her in poor health and contributed to her death a couple of Blossomings later. |

Indecisive Medium: Intros, outros and all the cutscenes are made of static comicbook panels, especially in Bell's Heart. Probably because the demo (later reworked as Bell's Heart) was created as a side story for the comic book the creator wrote while at school. |

Anti-Frustration Features |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 |
comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Except for the original Bell's Heart, clickable areas can be highlighted using a button, which prevents Pixel Hunts. A Grain of Truth has a map that acts as a Warp Whistle. Subsequent games have maps, too, but most locations are one-room and the map is the only way of travel. In Chapter I the lock puzzle can be bypassed. In Chapter II you can lose your patience and simply hit the potion-making apparatus to create the explosive mixture. But only the explosive, not the star solvent, so you won't get 100% completion. |

Struggling Single Mother |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_d6f544aa |
comment |
Struggling Single Mother: Downplayed for Neesan, a woman managing a small farm singlehandedly without a word of complaint. Even when you get her a bit tipsy, she still talks of her life in a very matter-of-fact way. Reyle never complains, either, despite raising a child by herself, in a cave, with the occasional help from the child's grandfather. |

comment |
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: In Bell's Heart, both Myo and the town mayor smoke pipes and are good people. Smoking appears to have been dropped for Myo in later games, though. The Messenger, who's a good (if a bit grumpy) guy, smokes. All the time. In Chapter III, Enti even claims a witch told him tobacco will make the Messenger kinder. Of course, being the local grim reaper, it's not like smoking can hurt him. |

Fantasy Pantheon |
| The Trader of Stories (Video Game) / int_df1a0454 |
comment |
Fantasy Pantheon: The First Born, children of the Great Oak, all named after trees. Most of Myo's stories feature them and their Classical Mythology worthy exploits in the aftermatch of the Great War. The pantheon consists of: Elm, the God of Order and divine lawmaker; his lover/wife Hazel, goddess of plants and fertility (Chapter III features her festival, which is fun); Fir, goddess of language, the divine poet and patron of the Growls (her festival in Chapter II is celebrated with a storytelling contest); Rowan, he who meddles with the mortals; Birch, who prefers to be known as Voice (for the Dead), caretaker of the dead, advisor for redemption seekers and the Messenger's boss. Her priestesses, the Servants of Voice, make up the local Saintly Church, running hospitals, schools and orphanages; Baobab, the divine smith and patron of the Hisses; he and Fir tend to butt heads; Willow, also known as Weeping Willow, the mysterious patron of Dancing Trees who lives with them in their forest, pretending to be "just an old lady"; Ash, who builds things; Jasmine, who was "lost" in the War and whose domain may have been sex; Cedar, who created animals and microorganisms, but, as we learn in Chapter III, Elm exiled him out of jealousy over Hazel and had him erased from all the records, so Myo is the only Grandchild who even knows of his existence. |

Grief-Induced Split: It seems like this happened to Fryme and Kesaj, as she began suspecting him of cheating after their son's death and then he vanished. Except Kesaj was really spending the time helping Reyle - the girl his son had a one-night stand with before Faking the Dead and running away - because she's the mother of his grandson. Kesaj's vanishing turns out to have been a fatal accident when Myo finds his dead body in the underground tunnels. |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The First Born and Guardians are emphatically not humanity's friends. The most sympathetic of them invents bacteria to force survival of the fittest as a means to encourage change in the world. Elm and Hazel are polar opposites, Elm adhering to rigid rules and Hazel unable to accept order. At first they're able to complement each other to solve problems, but as time goes by their differences become irreconcilable. |

Mystical White Hair: In Chapter I and Chapter II, Myo's hair is white, even though it wasn't in Bell's Heart and A Grain of Truth. And, as Adalbert says, it's not her natural colour. What makes it mystical, though, is the fact that somehow she can use a Guardian's sword, which would kill a mere mortal - Rain thinks the particular sword has been faulty, though. Also, the stories about gods "just come to her, like memories". In Chapter III Neesan dyes Myo's hair dark brown. |

Mix-and-Match Critters: Several of the wild creatures encountered throughout the series seem to be a mix of two or more different types of animals. Chapter III also features mix-and-match plants. |

Railroading: In the original game's potion making puzzle, you're not allowed to put the ingredients into the pot in a different order than the recipe says. |

Faking the Dead: Ashur actually ran away to Bark, leaving his backpack to be found in the meadows so everyone would think he'd been eaten. |

Cruelty Is the Only Option |

Cruelty Is the Only Option: Ingredients for the two potions include: cat's fur, hair of the person you want to control, an amulet and a pot to boil these together — and the last two you have to swipe from the old lady's house. Okay, maybe she doesn't mind, but you only find this out if you talk to her, and you don't have to (at least in the original release). |

Divine Date: In one of Myo's stories, Dew eloped with a mortal guy and they hid in the forest of the Dancing Trees. That is how Dew's sword ended up in the ruined house - it's the house they built for themselves. |
