A shadow has slowly spread across the land, dimming places that were once full of color and life. Forests have fallen silent, ancient ruins have faded, and faraway realms now wait for someone to guide the light back. Play through calm and satisfying levels to open new paths and restore forgotten regions. Journey across magical woods, weathered ruins, frozen peaks, desolate fields, and blazing lands. With every level you complete, the darkness retreats a little further, and the world begins to shine again.
