Over 250 animations and 20 minutes of cinematics. A nostalgic and time-consuming process - but really worth the challenge for a small indie team of four.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Single player mode with dual character control</h2>Solve puzzles from different perspectives. Discover a story of true courage with two playable characters drawn together through an inseparable bond.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Think outside of the box</h2>Spark your imagination and solve a wide variety of puzzles, presented in gorgeous hand-drawn environments. Puzzles work standalone, requiring no 'hidden items' or player backtracking.<h2 class="bb_tag" >LESS reading, MORE cinematics</h2>We replaced a dialogue system with a series of beautifully hand-animated cinematics telling a mysterious story.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Engaging Original Soundtrack</h2>Our composer created an original soundtrack, designed to immerse the player in the emotional highs and lows of the story, kindling goose-bumps along the journey.
