This game was made for LudumDare56 with the theme 'Tiny Creatures'. We interpreted the theme through our favourite nattators to date - the pixies. In addition to that, tiny creatures are featured throughout the game.

I love the hand drawn graphics, very impressive! Had some troubles with the hidden room, that needs you to be very precise and quick with the mouse, but I managed it after some time!
Thanks for that marvelous experience, really enjoyed it!
One note: Fullscreen breaks the layout completely if you are on an ultrawide display - so probably not recommended for that case.
I also loved how the movement of that little box, from which the story is revealed, gradually shifts and displays segments of the scenery as the tale unfolds on the left side.
I believe a few issues I've experienced here are related to the lack of clarity in highlighting elements—at least for me. The design often features a uniform tone, making it challenging to discern when interaction is required. For instance, that part where you're supposed to click on the book at the very beginning took me a while to notice. It wasn't immediately clear that this was a standout element within that scene.
At another moment here, it seems like it froze because when I click on anything, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I did something wrong. It was right in this scene. 🤔
The hidden room posed quite a challenge bc the spirit was very fast sometimes.
Really liked that the witch has a comment about playing it again. (If I had the choice between giving her a call or climbing the tower again solving puzzles, I'd choose the tower. Without hesitation!)
@douuggggg Thank you!! I am glad you liked out theme interpretation, we do tend to veer into weird ideas haha
@yue-zhang Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback! I totally get what you mean
@lucy-z Thank youu!
@prussichger Thank you so much! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the plot, it is definitely a balance I am trying to strike between art, writing, and the time limit :)
@edali Thank you so so much!
@rincat Oh my god thank you so much, I feel like this is the highest of compliments :)
I'm a huge fan of interactive fiction, and I'm so happy to have found one of this quality in this jam! Your writing style is perfect for the story being told, the interplay between the pixies is very funny, I tested all the branchings (i think?) and saw the 2nd ending (are there any others?) after the second run.
I had no idea that Twine could be integrated with Unity (I knew about the bridges between Ink and Unity, but that's all).
Congrats for your graphics (I'd have liked them to be a little less sketchy at times, but I understand that gamejam time doesn't help).
The music is discreet and in keeping with the universe.
A huge bravo to you!
Strokes and music combine very well in this innocent atmosphere.
The story is very funny and lives up to a children's book. As a game it works well and is the essential for a jam game in my opinion. Short, clear and polished.
Congratulations for the game.
