How it feels

A slow, contemplative point-and-click adventure through a lush, mysterious world driven by narrative exploration and environmental puzzles.

What players say

Players say this is a very short point-and-click adventure from the creator of Syberia, but it has aged poorly. The pre-rendered 640x480 visuals and obtuse puzzle design, especially the infamous lighthouse section, frustrate newcomers, who often recommend using a walkthrough. The story is thin compared to Sokal's later work.
