A place where you can come to relax and reflect. Take a look at over 85 illustrations about life in a beautiful, and at times haunting, real-time 3D environment. A subtle background of 30 ambient songs play to mellow you out and get you into an introspective mood. This is not a FPS nor a Myst-style pixel hunt. Aesthetically pleasing, but it's a very different type of 'game.' Freely fly around a beautiful outdoor castle ruins environment, taking a long look at the emotional imagery and captions. The climax is the ones you'll find high-up in the sky, surrounded by snowy mountains! Also, you'll go inside the castle, through dark, torch-lit passages opening into larger rooms. This experience is designed to draw you in, help you get contemplative, and to see what you see in yourself, reflected by the in-game visuals. You may be moved to make a change or try something new in your life. You are encouraged to give these things some thought, and perhaps journal. Features: - Real-time 3D environment; castle ruins, nature, mountains - Contemplative music selection (toggle enable/disable) plays 30 songs in random order (different every time) - Mouse and keyboard controls, including X and Y axis inversion - Zoom with mouse wheel without quality degradation - 85+ High resolution images with captions on many principles of life, to get you reflective - Free fly camera without collision detection, which allows you to explore at will - Automatically saves your preferences and last position, and picks up next time where you left off There are no puzzles, no enemies to kill, just you and this place. Hope you enjoy!
