How it feels

A gentle, story-focused 2D side-scrolling adventure with a mysterious and atmospheric tone, driven by conversations and exploration within a book world.

What players say

Players praise the short, easy puzzle adventure for its fairy-tale feel, but note weak character development, unimpactful dialogue choices, and a frustrating ladder bug that can block progress. Performance issues cause the GPU to hit 99% usage from the main menu onward.
