A short puzzle game with a sad and tragic story, but the ending left me feeling relieved. I really like the game's art and design. The devs clearly put a lot of effort into the artwork, and it really shows, they look great. The main character is especially adorable, and their emotionless expression in the art made me even more curious about the character and the story, their emotions and background can only be reveal through the pictures and diary entries. The pattern-based spell-casting mechanic used for solving puzzles and fighting is quite unique, and I really enjoyed it. There are still some inconveniences with this mechanic, though. I can only cast spells by dragging my mouse across the small pad in the right corner, and I can't undo a spell once I connect the wrong dots. It can also be quite distracting when using it during combat, but I realized I could just spam fireballs, so it wasn't really a big issue. The puzzle design is okay and suitable for everyone. There's also an easter eggs that requires combining two spells to unlock. I just wish there were more puzzles, more ways to utilize all the spells, and more interactions. But for a free game, it's still really good.

Short and effective. Tragic and thoughtful. Lovely little puzzle game.

Decent little puzzle, horror-esque game where you play as an unknown child, assumed some kind of Anomaly who was kept in Nava labs and researched. You find out what happened before you started playing, through notes and images scattered around the labs while you solve puzzles to escape. It's EXTREMELY short, but the narrative is nice for what's there. I do have a thing for these like, secret organization labs, military SCP type thing so it's cool atmosphere for me. The OST is nice as well, adding good emotion and the art is really pretty. Also the mechanic of using a pen to draw magic reminds me of Witch Hat Atelier, and is a really fun unique mechanic. If this was fully fleshed out I think it'd be a really cool game. For now just a nice free small experience.
