Equipped with only your own wits, you must work your way through a series of increasingly difficult challenges to escape from the castle you’ve been trapped in. 

You are playing as a princess who loves to paint, her paintings reflect her emotions, memories, and dreams. As she progresses,  she learns more about her connection to the castle. Through the paintings and the princess herself, the game explores themes of creativity, self-expression, and breaking free from constraints. This effort and exploration culminate in the princess’s escape from the tower!
