Puzzle platform game

1. Gameplay

   • The game centers around its protagonist Gem, an apple-sized creature made of lime green yarn.
     • He explores the world around him that makes small everyday things look large due to his size.
       • By using the yarn from his body, Gem creates rope to form bridges, pull things, and swing from items.
         • As Gem moves, the twine which he is made of unravels, creating lines that the player must use to solve puzzles to progress. It also serves as a challenge because walking Gem too far will unravel him into a slim frame, unable to reach further.
           • This frame can be refilled by interacting with balls of red yarn in the game environment.

2. Story

   • During the game's introduction, a old woman is going to be looking out her window,then picks up a ball of yarn.
     • As she proceeds upstairs, a lone ball of yarn rolls out of shot.
       • Gem, a human characteristics creature made of lime green yarn, and the game's protagonist, then walks into shot, and is looking around in wonder at his environment
         • Through various picture frames in the house, Gem can visit environments that were significant in the home owners' lives, and discover their memories about the places; the initial memories are happy, such as visiting the sea shore, or hiking in the mountains, but eventually darker memories are revealed: the rural forest area is industrialized, which in turn causes accidents with toxic waste, and people start moving to the city.
           • At the end of each level, Gem finds a red yarn badge it collects on the cover of a photo album in the house, which then fills with photos of the memories encountered along the way.
             • On the final two levels, however, Gem only finds one half each of a badge.
               • On the final level, played in a cemetery, Gem struggles its way through a snow storm to find the final half of the badge, but it slips from its hands, and jumping after it, Gem unravels completely, with only a red thread of yarn remaining in its place. The badge piece is then picked up by a human hand.
                 • Gem awakens in a camping backpack, holding the missing piece; it quickly runs home to place it on the photo album. Startled by a child entering the room, Gem is acting to be not alive again, and once the child leaves, it places the missing piece on to its final place on the photo album cover, which it then opens up to reveal the final passage and the end credits.
