Personal review

One word: atmosphere.
Music and scenery become tangled to form a game that feels like playing a poem mixed with an oniric painting.
Puzzles are really good and also has interesting characters.
Very enjoyable.

Official description

Between science and magic, between order and chaos, between Stark and Arcadia, there is an ancient Balance.

For thousands of years, this Balance has weighted the scales of the cosmos evenly, ensuring harmony between the twin worlds.

But now, in an age of great turmoil, chaos threatens to turn the scales and bring our most terrifying dreams to life.

The Guardian of the Balance has abandoned his throne...

The armies of the Vanguard are advancing...

A storm is coming...

And the fate of the worlds is in the hands of one person.

Her name is April. She is a Shifter. The power to walk between worlds is within her grasp, and her destiny is foretold in a hundred tales. But the tides of Chaos gain momentum with every passing second, and those who would be gods will not stand idly by. How, then, can one person prevail against impossible odds...

April's future is shrouded in a veil of mystery, and the journey ahead is treacherous and winding.

A journey not only through twin worlds, but into her own heart and soul.

This is the longest journey of them all.
