About this game
Hazel's search for her mother begins after a hurricane strikes Prospero. You guide her through the adventure using weaving magic in both combat and traversal. Pull draws distant enemies into melee range; Push interrupts their attacks, while Weave can bind opponents. The same weaving power also fixes objects in place to help Hazel cross obstacles. Additional powers become available as the story unfolds, expanding the tools used along her journey. The character animation draws on traditional stop-motion puppets, giving the folklore setting a distinct visual vocabulary. Weaver's Edition includes the full game, a digital artbook and the original soundtrack among its additional digital material. Those extras are presented in English.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A folklore adventure for players who enjoy learning a magical toolkit through a developing story.
Pull, Push and binding spells suggest combat built around controlling an encounter before following up in melee. Reusing weaving magic for traversal may appeal to players who want their character's powers to connect fighting with exploration.
Strengths
- Manipulating enemy distance and interrupting attacks offers a reason to consider spell timing alongside melee.
- The puppet-inspired animation may reinforce the sense of stepping into a crafted folktale.
Who it is for: Players interested in folklore-led adventures and powers that serve both combat and traversal.
Play notes: The additional digital material is in English; that condition concerns the extras rather than the game's dialogue or subtitles.
