The Kickstarter is live! For $10 you get a digital copy of the game when it comes out. All funds go to commissioning additional Music and art for game (and potentially voice acting/translations), any help is very much appreciated! Check out the Kickstarter page for more information.

In addition the latest build of the Beta has been released! This includes cleanup, an explanation for every puzzle after you complete it, simple battle animations that will be improved down the road, and new music! We are very excited to be working on the full game and get it closer to a complete game.

Beta Version 0.9.5 released!
List of changes/bugfixes were made to the game in this update! See below for a summary:


  • Added all new character art! This includes new expressions for each character.
  • Added short version of the game - when starting a game you can now select a condescended version of the story. The situations and puzzles remain untouched, the character conversations are simple shortened and summarized. Story was also tweaked.
  • Fixed miscellaneous puzzles that had multiple solutions. Modified a few puzzles that now make more sense with the story.
  • ​Fixed Sound FX setting bug that was causing it to not save and load properly. Changing the Sound FX should now properly save and apply.
  • ​Fixed UI scaling for certain menus, text scaling, and made the textbox less transparent, making it easier to read.
