How it feels

A short, top-down exploration game with retro pixel graphics, atmospheric dark fantasy setting, and puzzle-solving using a starlight ring.

What players say

Players say this episode keeps the charm and retro Game Boy Color style of the first while introducing a new block-spawning mechanic that leads to deceptively deep puzzles. The difficulty is higher, the game does not hold your hand, and some rooms trap you until you solve them. A minority report a game-breaking glitch, and there are no achievements this time.
