How it feels

A relaxed, story-driven point-and-click adventure where you lazily guide a reluctant herald through a whimsical stained-glass world.

What players say

Players praise the charming, stained-glass art style and simple puzzles, but nearly all agree the game is very short, clocking in around one to two hours. Many wish for a sequel that never came. Opinions split on the gameplay: some find it fun and whimsical, others call it boring, clunky, or too linear.
