[h1] Innovative horror with oriental setting. Stitch together fabric to make bridges, also can pull platforms together or cut ropes and cloth to make a path. In the meantime escape from nightmare creature. Sewing had never been so fun! [/h1]

Its a short but very cool game. It has a very cool needle mechanic that is used to solve puzzles. That, in combination with the stress of a monster chasing you made it a very fun experience.
