How it feels
A quiet, aching journey through a vast crumbling castle where protecting a fragile companion feels both tender and desperate.

About
An action-adventure game in which a boy is abandoned and taken to a massive castle by his people. After exploring it for a while, he meets a girl who speaks a different language than him, then decides to get both of them out of the castle grounds by leading her along, in order to escape the shadow-like creatures that frequently try to kidnap the girl.
What players say
A haunting, melancholic mood piece about two lost children holding hands through an isolating castle; its minimalist art and quiet emotion are remembered far more than its modest puzzle-platforming. A revered cult masterpiece.
