A world of machinery, memories and family secrets

Carl returns home to celebrate his sister’s birthday, only to be threatened by two strangers at the door. Could they be connected to his grandfather’s disappearance years ago?

Explore a hand-drawn steampunk world. Examine your surroundings, collect and combine items, solve mechanical puzzles and follow conversations to uncover the secrets hidden in the family home.

Now includes Chapter 2

Continue beyond the old house into a miniature world. Explore its square, market, altar and other locations, solve new puzzles and follow the clues left by Carl’s grandfather. Both chapters are included in the base game, with no additional purchase required.

Returning from the 2019 version?

This update uses a new save format. Progress from the 2019 version cannot be continued here, so a new game is required. Your old saves are kept. To continue that progress, select legacy_2019 in the game’s Steam Properties / Betas.
