How it feels

A gentle but uneasy point-and-click story where the polite fairy's timid persona contrasts with bold choices in a confined, unfamiliar world.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and fairy-tale atmosphere but are sharply split on the story's message. The game is short, relies on a few choices, and has minimal interaction. A significant number of reviewers find the good ending, where the amnesiac fairy must sacrifice everything for her captor, uncomfortable, calling it Stockholm syndrome.
