Key Fairy

Deep in an ancient forest bound by a bitter spell, a tiny fairy wanders. Wielding a spool of thread and a bladeless sword, weave through twisting paths to unearth enchanted trinkets, evading monsters and collecting stars to free their hearts from hatred in this ink-illustrated pacifist bullet-hell.
