About
Play four hand-drawn memories from childhood and explore the strangeness and unease hiding beneath familiar moments. Some stories are mysterious, others whimsical, and all are a bit experimental. Each story is supported by its own unique art style and soundscape.
A short, open-to-interpretation experience with a total playtime of about 30–40 minutes.
Open up an old wooden box and discover four different objects: a screwdriver, a lizard, a seashell and a moth. Each one has its own story to tell:
🪛 Familiar
Assemble a curious cabinet together with your family. It is not as easy, as it seems.
🦎 The Paludarium
Take care of your pet lizard while nature slowly creeps in.
🦋 The House of the Moon
Search for the moon in a dark seascape.
🐚 The Last Sand Castle
Help the music-loving inhabitants of a sand castle.

Hand-drawn and award-winning art with a picture book aesthetic
Short and impactful stories that are emotional and open to interpretation.
Atmospheric and ambient soundscapes
Simple and easy interactions: point, click and explore.
Follow the moon, feed the lizard, and discover surreal childhood memories, where the familiar turns mysterious and strange.

beautiful art style, v atmospheric
A la gente se le suele olvidar que el arte es expresion, y la interaccion directa con ella es el medio; en este caso no deja de ser un juego que podrias encontrarte como exposicion en un museo interactivo, con un mensaje difuso a interpretar... eso no lo hace malo, es mas, considero que cada persona indiferente el tipo de experiencias que busque pueda sentirse tocado de alguna manera con este mini repertorio de eventos, ya sea indiferencia, o sorpresa, confusion o contemplacion. Creo haber invertido bien mi dinero para disfrutar de una experiencia corta, valoro mucho la dedicacion al estilo artistico de este juego, a la gente que en algun futuro quiera poder expresar algo sin ser ostentoso.
I loved the art and definitely enjoyed the sense of confusion! This game wants you to interpret things your way without a doubt. I loved the symbolism and the hidden meanings behind the visuals <3 Only complaint: I wish it was longer :( WARNING: Do not get the game if prefer action packed experiences. This is more of a slow paced storytelling game.
One of the worst game i've ever played. Gameplay almost not existing, stories are not interested (each of four can be presented in one small sentence). It's 1/10 score.
As most of the other reviews say, it is four little minigames each with some theme to it. All of it looks handdrawn and it's similar to reading a modern childrens book. You don't necessarily get any conclusion to the stories told and most of it is up to you to interpret. My wife and I enjoyed it as a chill little art experience, but it isn't much of a challenge or a game in the classical sense if that is what you are after.
Lovely strange little casual game. I loved the art style and the variation of tasks/events. The stories definitely resonated with me, and I feel like if you don't understand the stories you should count yourself as lucky :')
По сути это короткое интерактивное кино с прекрасным визуалом. Раскрывает четыре жизненных ситуации в фантастическом восприятии. Не стоит идти сюда за геймплеем его тут минимум. Смысл в другом. Советую игру для спокойного тихого вечера когда есть возможность подумать над происходящим и насладиться чудесными иллюстрациями и слегка загадочным повествованием.
Cute little thought piece. Very beautiful!
:)
Lovely short experience
