About This Game
Mai used to dance - before it all happened. These days she keeps to herself in her riverside village, running errands, drawing in her notebook, and feeling lost... until Pim wanders in, a little ghost who's lost her memories but none of her joy. Helping Pim find who she was turns out to be the thing that slowly brings Mai back to life, too.
A fully-voiced story of healing across 8–10 hours and about a dozen mini-games, set in a real Thai river village and made from the inside by Thai artists. From the heart of Greg Johnson, creator of ToeJam & Earl.
