About the Game

There is something amiss upon the Great Tree. Cedar, armed with a magical lute and bell, climbs the Tree to investigate...

Explore the world from Cedar's minuscule perspective. Soothe the creatures of the Tree and heal the blight. Find hidden power-ups, overcome environmental obstacles, and restore peace to the world through the power of music.

This is a short game (an experienced player can complete a play-through in about 20 minutes), but there is more than meets the eye. With three different endings and an unlockable bonus mode, and mutually exclusive achievements, prepare to explore the world of Deodar more than once. Allow yourself to get lost in its ambient soundscapes and pixel art charm.

This is a retro-inspired game. This means that, like the games of old, the player is expected to explore and figure things out. This adds in a layer of difficulty which is not always present in modern games.
