“Short little adventure with beautiful scenes, music and touching storyline.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“What a lovely game... So relaxing and nice. The puzzles are easy and the controls are smooth. Beautiful music and setting. I wish it was a little longer, but it was super nice nonetheless. (I played for longer than it's written)”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“I got the game for super cheap. It is a pretty short experience with really basic puzzles. The main appeal is the wonderful music and sound design. The game doesn't outstay its welcome and while I wish the game was a bit longer, I can't complain with it being $2 when I bought it.”
