Description
A cute and romantic coming-of-age story that describes a sensitive being who explores his role regarding companionship, relationship, family and children.
A 3D story-driven point and click puzzle - adventure game taking place in the elegant minimalistic universe of the Minims. With its cartoon-like unusual artwork, its eccentric story, and its relaxing tempo, it introduces the player to explore the minimalist sceneries, to collect important items, and to solve varied, easy & difficult riddles to unfold the storyline.
The story is unravelled in the quirky and serene universe of the Minims, a world in-between a real world and an imaginary world, that exists inside their minds. The Minims species are charming cartoon-like creatures who believe that they are the last of their genre. The Minims are skilful musicians, well-educated, eclectic, sophisticated, and invention enthusiasts. They have created on their own their settlement from scratch and they have found new ways of alternative and ecologically way of living.
On yet another beautiful day, on the top of the rock, Mii is doing some chores, when it dawns on him that Mo appears to be missing. A personal journey is beginning. Tracing her steps he embarks on an emotional journey which becomes a self-seeking enigmatic exploration regarding life choices and personal values.
Symbolism from the ancient Greek classic culture and mythology and discreet references to scenes from favourite films and classic games have their own place in the game.

Ratings and Reviews
Almost hypnotic ...
Beautiful, simple graphics and a excellent ambient soundtrack make this a slow, immersive game for those with patience. None of the puzzles is too hard, but some are so quirky I needed a hint from the in-game help. I was a bit puzzled as to the target audience, as the humour is quite sophisticated, as is the theme of the game - self discovery. The pleasure is really just mooching about working out the puzzles, and enjoying the journey. You will have to repeat certain actions several times to complete tasks - if that sort of thing really annoys you this may not be for you. It is quite short - maybe two/three hours game play, but it wasn't expensive ...
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your comment. We have just updated the game (3.4 version) and includes a feature that you could fast forward the cinematics and the dialogues. You could play the same game for a shorter duration. Hope you enjoy the game.
Try the Lite first!!
Can't get started. Moving the screen v slow and then doesn't respond to Tap An Object. Tried the Lite and same thing.

Cute game
This is a cute game with wonderful graphics. I felt it could be improved though with a few tweaks. Firstly, there needs to be a way to skip some of the animation sequences (especially if you've already seen them before) as they became quite irritating after going through them a number of times. Secondly, the conversations were often awkward and took too long to go through. It would be better to have more in each speech bubble. (Actor's voices would also really add to the enjoyment of the conversations, but I appreciate this is a big undertaking.) Thirdly, there need to be more intelligent tips; I got stuck in a few places as I'd missed some things but the tips were of no use whatsoever in helping me out in these instances.
