The story of Princess Aurora's death and reincarnation in a strange land is told through watercolour visuals and poetry. She can fly, so exploring the 2D world of Lemuria takes you effortlessly from the depths of wells and subterranean caves to the very tops of trees. Sadly its semi-real time combat lacks the complexity to make it interesting and its poetry (which extends to dialogue, plot exposition and Aurora's asides) is so unutterably terrible that as soon as a subtitle appears you'll be bracing yourself for more jarring, punishment-grade doggerel.
