What players say

Players call this a short, wholesome point-and-click adventure in the style of 90s Sierra games like King's Quest. It has retro pixel art with CRT monitor support, a lighthearted story about a bard competing in a challenge, and fair puzzles. Some find the backtracking excessive and the game too short for its price, while others praise the charming atmosphere and voice acting.
