Das Pixel-Adventure Rakuen thematisiert die Geschichte eines kranken Jungen, der seine Mutter darum bittet, ihn in die Fantasiewelt seines Lieblingsbuchs mitzunehmen. Dort angekommen müssen Spieler die Fantasiewelt-Alter Egos aus dem Krankenhaus kennenlernen und ihnen helfen. Die Entwicklerin Laura Shigihara, die unter anderem für den Soundtrack zu Plants vs. Zombies und die Audioeffekte von To The Moon verantwortlich ist, beschreibt ihr Spiel als einen Mix aus Maniac Mansion und The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Die Geschichte sei von japanischer Mythologie und Filmen wie "Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland" inspiriert. Auf der offiziellen Seite kann bereits in ausgewählte Stücke des Soundtracks reingehört werden. Rakuen soll Ende 2014 für den PC erscheinen.

Genau diese Geschichte schwebt mir seit zehn Jahren vor Augen, wenn ich "Begging For Grace (Dragonfly Wings)" von Joshua Kadison (Vanishing America, 2001) höre.
I was locked up in a crazy place
They found me on the streets begging for grace
I don't remember but they say I lost my mind
She was in the garden after the rain
In a white robe we were dressed the same
She took my hand and said my eyes looked kind, then she said,
"You must be the boy she sent me from the other side
Well, I've been waiting for the longest time
And you can tell her it's been a crazy ride
Tell her I think I've learned the lessons she sent me to learn
Tell her I think I know what I wanna be should I return
I wanna be blues, I wanna be greens
I wanna be flying on dragonfly wings"
Sittin' on the banks where the river twists
Showing me the marks up and down her wrists
She told me there was sacred writing in the lines
She said the language was from a long time ago
And she could find out all she wants to know
If she could just decipher those sacred signs
"You must be the boy she sent me from the other side
Well, I've been waiting for the longest time
And you can tell her it's been a crazy ride
Tell her I think I've learned the lessons she sent me to learn
Tell her I think I know what I wanna be should I return
I wanna be blues, I wanna be greens
I wanna be flying on dragonfly wings"
I found her walking in the northern fields
I said I had to leave, 'cause they called me healed
I told her I could see my face in the mirror again
She said, "Should you ever see the Dragonfly Queen
Tell her I'm a waiting for my wings
Tell her I'll be waiting where the river bends
I wanna be blues, I wanna be greens, I wanna be flyin' on dragonfly wings
