The Hourglass Sings

This is a free, early-access version! It's formatted and playable, but there's no art except the front cover. The final game will include additional works of pixel art and play resources. It'll be published here as an update. I'm pretty sure that if you add this free version to your itch library, you'll have access to the final published version automatically.
