« A pretty short game, mostly walking & very-light platforming...but the Slavic folklore, music, and embroidered art make for some unique vibes. »

« Beautiful art and music carry a soft, low-friction adventure. Light platforming, easy puzzles, and after 3 hours I felt it ended way too soon. Enjoyable, but the gameplay could offer way more. »

« The art is great and I love the embroidered style. The story was so hard to put down I played the whole game in one sitting. If you love platformers or story games I definitely recommend trying this game out. »

« It fell form 9 to 5 in the first 30m... I was so confused ... like nice graphics and polishing. For a basic pointless platformer. »

« Beautiful look, and cool idea, but it was too hard for me. Lots of backtracking in tunnels. I got stuck several times and had to look it up online. After that I was done. 😆 »

« I don't know why, I got it for my laptop and whenever I get to the torch part of literally the first 30 mins she freezes there. I can't like progress anymore....😬 Plz fix or I'll have to return it but I really don't want to. »
