How it feels
A story-rich, choice-driven adventure through a whimsical and slightly dark fairy-tale world, with puzzle-solving and multiple endings.

What players say
Players describe this as a Wizard of Oz reimagining blended with Red Riding Hood and Groundhog Day. The art and music are praised, but several puzzles frustrate, especially a cave puzzle. Reviews note you cannot revisit an area once you finish its main objective, locking you out of rescuing characters and affecting the multiple endings.
