A time-looping puzzle ballad, from the creators of Burly Men at Sea.
Unravel the tale of a (somewhat) legendary weather-making rooster, told in verse.
As a folklorist visiting the rugged hill country of the Ozarks, your chronicle of local lore is at the mercy of an unreliable storyteller. You’ll need to help sort his wayward ballad by rearranging its stanzas—but even this is not so straightforward. Each stanza you move is also a moment in time: shaped, like most folklore, by what comes before.
Navigate a story-based time puzzle
Gather suspiciously relevant scraps of folk wisdom
Appease a strange cast of hand-drawn and animated characters
Gain the assistance of a traveling conman salesman
Orchestrate a shindig and other such matters
