Abby is a string puppet who performs in a circus and spends her nights locked in a cage. When she slips away, she enters a dark storybook land where freedom comes with risks. Her strings are part of the gameplay: you use them to solve puzzles, cross rivers, and evade bandits and traps.
The mood is dark but beautiful, in the manner of an old fairy tale, with a cinematic presentation and a story about hope and breaking free. It is single-player with full controller support, and it suits players who prefer atmosphere and puzzle solving over fast reflexes.
