Overcoming your fears and anxiety 

  In the present world, a young girl scout has fallen into a well while camping with her scout colleagues, and lost her backpack’s items in the process. Surprisingly, she did not get hurt when reaching the bottom, and because of the darkness surrounding her she could not really understand why. Fortunately, her homemade bracelet hookshot was still intact, and so she decides to not give up and tries to find a way out of the well by climbing back up. 

  When climbing up the girl scout will find her lost items, and will be able to use them to her vantage. Sometimes, things will seem out of this world: platforms move, flowers grow inside the well, there’s giant gelatin platforms and gates. The girl scout will start having hallucinations and see things that are not quite real, perhaps from all the stress of being alone and the claustrophobia caused by the tight space inside the well.

• Your hookshot is the core mechanic, meaning you'll use it throughout the whole game. Mastering it is essential for future challenges;
• The character is traditionally animated, giving it a lot of expression;
• Your biggest enemy is the well: be careful to not fall down, otherwise you'll have to climb back up;
• Very fun to speedrun!
