What starts as a novelty evolves into a collecting challenge where interacting with one item leads to another. Rescue a stray cat, awaken an ancient snake-spirit, re-enact a moon landing or travel back in time. Each object has a story to tell as you push and pull it around. You don’t win or lose, but you do progress through the series of different objects.Infant-school children will enjoy the simple object recognition and how one thing magically transforms into another with their careful interactions.
