By her side are two companions. Arlette Sweetbay has a sense of adventure, following Derin into the dark woods. Elain Sweetbay has more common sense and often shares her voice of wisdom.

Visuals and audio
The graphics are beautiful, and there are some stunning scenes behind the characters as they speak. In some cases, you’ll see some visual animations, such as snow falling or the character getting a fright. There’s also an outstanding soundtrack to accompany you on your quest.
