An unusual mix of adventure and idle game. In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it's your task to wait for the awakening of your king... for 400 days. Play as a lonely Shade, the last servant of a king who once ruled an underground kingdom. The king's powers have faded and he falls asleep for 400 days to regain his might. It is your duty to stay in the earthen palace until he awakens. As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400 days - even when you stop playing and exit the game. It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty of time. Choose your playing style Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the Shade will be even more lonely without you. Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry. Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied. Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness... Features • Slow exploration of a vast, hand-drawn cave. • Atmospheric Dungeon Synth soundtrack. • Various endings. • Lots of well hidden secrets. • Time-based puzzles. • A lonely but cute protagonist.

The end got accidentally spoiled for me before I could get there myself :( I won’t put it here so no one else has the same fate but I still love it! Anyhow, I agree with what another person said that maybe make a widget???

Tried reaching out to customer support, but never hear back. Paying for a game permanently on mute is whack.

Would be nice to open on iPad, check in, and then open on mobile later to see progress update.

This game is such a good break from the constantly changing stimuli of the world. With a super cute main character that reminds you to take things slow, and a chill but entertaining gameplay, this game is so good for my attention span and mental health :)

5 stars because I really like the game and want more like it on mobile. Sadly the latest iOS update brings Game Center notifications which trigger the "WAIT..." screen whenever they pop up, including on achievements. This means that *any major event gets interrupted*.

There are fewer than few truly engaging games, and this one in particular have me emotionally hooked. I wanted to achieve every milestone, but at the same time ending its longing. Might play it again to unlock the rest.

Amazing. The animations and story is so beautiful. True, you need a lot of patience, but I always enjoy playing. I cannot wait for when the 400 days are over, I wonder what will happen! If you are looking for an easy, relaxing game, it’s this!

I played it on PC first and it was an utterly unique experience. It etched an eternal memory in the darkest depths of my mind. Very few games harbor true magic. This is one.

I desperately tried to like this game. It’s too slow. I’m upset that I paid five dollars for this game.
- Baywatersport · v1.02
Can’t get past the SUPER LONG intro and when I quit it restarts the darn intro every time. It’s almost like it doesn’t want you to actually play the game.
- Kris Krinkle · v1.02
This can easily compete for the most boring game in the history of gaming.. 🥱🥱 How could you get the nerve to come out with this??
- Dr Y Khachaba · v1.02
Fun game but sadly does not synchronize on my tablet.
- BrainScanMedia · v1.02
It gives me this symbol 🚫. My first day playing I could draw, but now I can’t?!?
- Beaverwithachainsaw · v1.02
I really wanted to like this game but the speed in which the character wakes is irritating. I had to stop.
- Lobsterladyclaw1 · v1.02
This game is great in a way that I can not describe. Please support this developer, and premium games in general.

I’ve wanted this game for years now, and I was finally able to get it on mobile! While it’s great, there’s a lot of glitches when it comes to room decorating. For example, I may click on a crystal at one end of the room and a crystal on the complete opposite end gets selected instead and gets automatically moved to where I just clicked. And then when I finally place that crystal down a completely random one gets selected and moved to the spot where I put the previous crystal down. This is the only problem I’ve had with the game so far, though. Thank you!

Love the chap as te other guy said his little mosquito face brings me joy i would like to thank and encourage the producers

The little dude (a shade- I call him Ash) walks super slow because he has all the time in the world, but its an idle game so you can close out and come back to see how far he's gotten. It’s a test of patience to be sure, but I’m already looking forward to the rewards and progress that comes with time. I wish there was a widget available to see what he’s up to or thinking when not in-game because his little mosquito face brings me joy. I also wish we could label the remembered spots because they are hard to see and difficult to discern from one another.
