    It is a slow game but develops in such a beautiful way. Take your time and see where your patience takes you, there is plenty of time after all :)

    Poetic meditation in the form of a game. With The Shade, I will wait. and wait. and wait.

    I cannot recommend this game. The constant march of time in game even if you're not playing makes the game more of a chore than something fun.
