About this gameFull description from Steam
The world has ended. Homgard can’t be saved… but someone still needs to do the paperwork. You move through the broken world by solving logic puzzles, each one revealing a little more of what was lost. Along the way you'll find heroes who hit snooze on destiny, gods who went to get snacks and never came back, and apocalyptic cults arguing over font sizes. Apparently, this is considered normal. The story is already over. So why does the world still feel like it’s waiting for you? FEATURES Solve puzzles to uncover what remains Complete nonograms (also called picross) to reveal 25 unique regions and open new paths. It’s a world that’s happy to let you wander at your own pace. 675 handcrafted puzzles, with 6 new mechanics A large collection of carefully handcrafted puzzles, from small and friendly to large and strange. Classic nonogram logic is expanded with varied grid shapes and coloured cells that play by different rules. Every puzzle is solvable without guessing. Let the story unfold Discover hundreds of short written stories that you slowly piece together into a greater mystery: royal conspiracies, ancient secrets beginning to stir, time agents meddling where they shouldn’t… and someone who's clearly here just for the drama. Read as much or as little as you like. Cosy by default, as challenging as you like No timers. No stress. Take it slow. Use optional assist features for a relaxed session, or turn them off for a purer logic challenge. Adjust colour palettes and font sizes to suit your eyes. Book 1 of a larger saga This is the first book in a four-part series: a complete, self-contained story, with much more waiting beyond the edges. An in-world radio Six different stations, each with its own vibe. Calm, strange, occasionally perfect.
