How it feels

A gentle, story-driven hidden-object adventure through a frost-bitten magical world, with light puzzles and a calm, questing pace.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous artwork and music, but split on the story, calling it weak or forgettable. The game leans more on puzzles than hidden object scenes, with a complete ending. Most finish in 3 to 5 hours, and some say it is too easy for genre veterans.
