The first of a 3-part series of fangames, all with different parts of the same story. Intended to be for people who enjoy a sort of abstract story-driven adventure game, and not so much for those interested in strictly needle.

This really is quite good, but it's a daggone shame it's so short. Luckily, it's the first in a three-part series! What's that? No other part has been released? It's been three years? Oh... well, nevermind.

Nonetheless, this is an excellent game built on mood and an abstract story-telling method that gives you very little to go on: the name of the game, the general mood, and the ending. There's also the fact that you have no double jump immediately and this is granted to you by a feather which is illuminated by heavenly rays, but that tells less concerning some sort of plot. There seems to be this apocalyptic tone throughout the game, based on the rather somber music and dilapidated saves combined with the fogginess.

The needle itself is quite enjoyable as well, leaving nothing to be desired. I would be quite happy to see the series go on, but alas, all we have is this one amazing amuse-bouche.

I would have loved to see the other parts of this game get released since this first installment is quite interesting, it's short but has excellent atmosphere and pretty good platforming. Cool stuff for sure.
