This is puzzling world inspired by games like Myst.
The name comes from a complex story that isn't obvious from playing the game. The crystals in the game are called virtues, and your world's main virtue, called purpose, has been stolen into another world. You must save your world by restoring the virtues to their rightful places.
=== Playing ===
*Windows* Download, unzip, and run Game.exe. Maximize the screen before you press enter since the game takes over the mouse while playing. Press alt+F4 when you're done.
*Mac* Download, unzip, and run the app; you may have to right-click the app icon and choose open since it will be from an "unrecognized developer" (no one recognizes me, so sad). Maximize the window before you hit return to start playing.
I downloaded the windows version but i get a notification that says i am missing the MSVCR120.dll Anything I can do to fix this? More than willing to put in some effort if it helps.
Hi @DvanderAart - thanks for reporting that! I added msvcr120.dll to the zip file. It's tricky for me to test it myself because I already have all the necessary DLL files on my laptop and don't want to delete random ones to see if my zip file contains everything it needs :)
If anyone still has trouble running the windows version, you can download the needed runtime components directly from Microsoft here:
Hi @Ventura - sorry it's not working for you. I developed on a windows 8 machine. I tried to make it windows 7-compatible, but perhaps I messed up and it requires windows 8 after all. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. You could try downloading the windows runtime components to see if that helps. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Hey @RobotFriend, you can fix the screen size by resizing it before starting to play. Sorry about the difficulty.
Also, @nintendoeats, maybe the app requires windows 8 despite my efforts to avoid that. If anyone has gotten it to run on windows 7 lemme know. Otherwise I'll assume I messed up the dependencies and it only runs on windows 8. Sorry :(
Runs without a hitch on my Macbook. The game was a bit trial and error for me - I simply picked crystals from the other world at random and then brought them to the proper pedestal if the colors matched. Dunno if there was more to it than that. It was a nice, quick and clean little thing anyway, so I don't really have any complaints. Really cute sound effects. :)

Just click the Download button on that page. I hope the current zip file makes downloading that unnecessary, though!
That means the application couldn't start correctly.

Probably best to remove msvcr120.dll from the archive; if it's not installed properly it won't help.
The game's a good piece of work. The portal is impressive. But I couldn't figure out the puzzle at all.
