Despite the repetitious nature of the puzzles and easy difficulty, the game draws you in with a nice story. The plot revolves around a mother and her blind child. The child vanishes one day while he is outside playing. The mother looks around but cannot find the boy. As a last hope, she looks to the sky for assistance. Surprisingly, they answer by sending a single star shaped like a butterfly to assist the boy. It turns out that the boy has a crucial mission: to carry the new Snake God's egg deep inside its temple. You play the role of a mother who watches from the sky and guides her blind child. The game is played using a mouse. Although the gamepad is available, it does not feel great or provide a pleasant experience owing to the excessive clicking and moving about. By clicking on the ground, the child will move there. Despite his blindness, the boy is very good at navigating around the world's things, including trees, rocks, and even small bridges. He also has no trouble interacting with specific objects in the world. The camera is not fully under your control. Because you are looking from the sky, you can only switch between dark stars that serve as alternative perspectives on the scene. You can still move it around to examine your surroundings and zoom in for a closer look, but you cannot "walk". To travel between dark stars, you need to click on them once. Instead of looking for them around the area, you can simply use the left and right arrow keys to switch through them. The boy cannot accomplish anything on his own, therefore the mother can interact with objects as well. These are designated with yellow paint to make them easier to find. For example, you can move boulders, toggle switches, and even toss objects at targets. Her strength is restricted so she can only pull large objects with her thread. A very handy feature is that when you move the mouse over any object that may be interacted with, it grows in size. The mouse cursor will also change to indicate the necessary action. The game progresses linearly through puzzle scenes. Each puzzles has similar mechanics and is fairly short. Most frequent are idols that require the boy to place his hand inside to activate something. The egg also plays an important function because you cannot leave without it. You frequently have to drop it on the ground to get past narrow bars or trigger something. You also need to guard it from the dark small monsters that are drawn to it. You can take them out by tossing rocks at them. The story is presented in an excellent way. The mother frequently narrates what is going on in the moment, commenting on practically every action taken by the child and revealing what the boy and egg are talking about. None of it is repeated. Other fragments and parts can be found in frescoes that are cleaned by hand or by crushing barrels. These contain parchments, which are also game's collectibles. There are no achievements so looking for them doesn’t lead to any reward.
