You calmly piece together ancient artifacts with simple mouse controls, accompanied by soothing music and a sleeping cat companion.

What players say
Players say the puzzles get brutally difficult after level 8, with tiny same-colored pieces that turn assembly into a guessing game. The reference image can't be zoomed, and many find the experience stressful rather than calming, though completing a puzzle reveals a historical artifact with a description.
