Like in a hidden object game you have to look very closely to find the correct part, tap it and it will change. Part for part you will detect the hidden image of another creature. After completing an image you can also play a bonus mini game, where you have to reorder the tiles of the picture. As there is no time limit the game can take you into a focused state of mind and soothe you away from rumination, fear or sorrow. The game comes with 25 free to play pictures, all had crafted by the developer. New content will be available soon...
