About
Embark on a heart-wrenching journey to save a prince's eyesight in this beautifully hand-drawn 2D puzzle-platformer. As a fearsome wolf who accidentally blinded the prince, you must trade your singing voice to shape-shift into a princess and guide him to a healing witch. Along the way, you'll need to master both forms to solve environmental puzzles, defeat monsters, and protect the fragile prince in a dangerous fairy tale forest.
Story
A lonely wolf's nightly singing attracts a human prince, but a tragic accident leaves him blind. Riddled with guilt, the wolf trades her voice for the ability to turn into a princess, lying about her true identity to safely escort him. Their deepening bond is tested by the dark truths of the forest and the heavy, unexpected price of the witch's wishes.
Gameplay
Players must dynamically swap between two forms to progress: the vulnerable Princess who can hold the prince's hand and issue commands, and the powerful Wolf who can jump high, break barriers, and defeat enemies. Cooperative puzzle-solving requires careful maneuvering of the blind prince past deadly traps, flimsy bridges, and weight-sensitive platforms.
