About the Game

Welcome to the forest,
O Bearer of Light.

Come and see
beings of fairy tale
who welcome thee.

Dancing grasses, laughing flowers,
in hope and tears, the Forest cheers.

Come and hear
stories and wisdom,
treasured so dear.

Stay and ponder, stay and wander.
Learn the wisdom, reach the answer.

Come in deeper,
O Light Bearer,
into the Forest's heart.

Where the light fails to penetrate
and the truth slumbers so deeply.

Come and find...
find the Mother.










Follow the Journey of the Little Firefly to seek The Mother deep inside the heart of the unknown forest! Though, this journey won't be easy for such a bug. The Little Firefly has to earn the forest trust and prove their worth by solving riddles, challenges, and puzzles.
Deeper into the forest, Our Little Firefly will learn the sacrifice of the forest, the horror of the Devourers, and the secret to awaken Mother.
