Welcome to the Temple!
Why do children play hopscotch, what do they hide and who’s watching after the Temple of Children? This is a story about children, their games and their Great God.
"Where do the sounds come from? And colors? What comes into the child's mind when they first see something red? We hardly ever think about these things. We don't even wonder why the sky is blue and the grass is green. We don't play games that much anymore, although we used to do it before to explore the world. All of us were children. And all of us have forgotten something.
I didn't sleep well that night. I had nightmares."

“You can hear the hollow sound of rushing blood in the Hall. Some small figures looking as children were playing hopscotch. Despite the absurdity of the surroundings, Nastya felt calm. This whole place seemed miraculously familiar."
You are going to take a trip into the world of fear and discover a secret which is seriously hidden by the children. Moreover, you are going to try walking in children's shoes and overcome the challenges, doing this is beyond the ability of any adult. However, you will be able to tackle all the obstacles until you remember that you are just kids that have only become grown-ups.
