So... remember that girl, Alice, who went to wonderland ? She had a blast, right ? Sure, she almost got beheaded, she became huge and really tiny, she got lost in the woods and a couple other misadventures but, all in all, it was a marvelous trip.
You don't get to play as Alice. You play as Beth, and she's not so lucky. Her wonderland is a twisted, horrible version of Alice's, and she has no clue what she's getting into. Her pet dog is dead, her white rabbit is straight out of a Monthy Python movie, and the only thing they have in common is a red queen that's after their head. Except Beth's one isn't going to bother with a pretend trial first.
So. Our heroine is through the looking glass, but fortunately, she managed to bunker up into a small house. Her only problem is food... oh, and water too.
It's not that she doesn't have any. She's got plenty of both. The problem is that food here makes you grow larger, and water makes you tinier. And the law of physics are not going to allow stuff like a 10-meter-large girl, much less one that's smaller than an ant. She needs to become a very picky eater, very fast.
That's where you come in. You get to choose what Beth eats and drinks. Press the left/right arrow keys to eat/drink the closest foodstuffs, or double tap the buttons to skip them and get to the next one. Try not to get crushed inside your house, vanish into nothingness, or simply starve to death. You're allowed to overeat, but since your stomach will be full, you'll then have to wait for a while before you can eat something again. Remember that salty foods will make you thirsty, and you can't really live on seawater.
Oh and... did I mention the mushrooms ? Because there's gonna be mushrooms. You don't want to pick the wrong ones.

The game "ends" after day 10 (you'll know when it happens, the journal entries run out). Each day lasts less than a minute, so it shouldn't be too long to complete. If you die early, well... try again ! There's a couple gotchas (which you can avoid if you're careful), but it shouldn't be too hard once you've figured them out.
Good luck !
