How it feels

A grim yet whimsical fairy tale where you guide a puppet protagonist through storybook puzzles and dangers, tethered by narrative strings.

What players say

Players praise the puppet's story about freedom and find the art, music and narration beautiful. The game is short, around two hours, with simple puzzles and a jump that feels a bit slow, which can cause some missed timing.
