How it feels

A leisurely hidden-object adventure with an eerie fairy-tale setting, mixing light puzzle-solving with a detective story.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and visual style, calling it a decent retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but note it is an early series entry with dated mechanics. Hidden object scenes rely on finding shards of a single item rather than a list, and there is no map. Some report the game stopped launching, and many say the price is too high for the short length.
