A gentle, thoughtful puzzle adventure where you slowly piece together a poetic story of a death that echoes across time.

What players say
Players describe this as a short puzzle adventure where the puzzles often give the solution to another puzzle, feeling more like a treasure hunt than a logic challenge. The storytelling is praised as creative and atmospheric, but the introduction is confusing and some find the puzzles too basic or obtuse.
