They say the Hand of Midas lies at the heart of this forgotten place — golden, cursed, waiting.
You’ve reached the threshold, but the way forward is sealed by silent riddles left by the mages of old.
Clues and logic will guide you to put poseable puppets just right to solv the puzzles that will open the doors until you reach the vault and with it, Midas' hand.
A quiet puzzle game of gesture, mystery, and myth.

Disclaimer and Instructions

Fullscreen recommended - the arms are difficult to pick in a small window.
As a small helper (since I neglected an in-game tutorial): fire is red, metal is brown, ice is green and stars is grey. Do not worry about exact placements, the puppets are there to help you solve the riddle.
This type of puzzle is easiest to solve using a grid like the one shown on Wikipedia. There are only threepuzzles, there wasn't time for more. Let me know if you solved them, and absolutely let me know if you didn't!
If you experience trouble moving the limbs, drag the hands and feet rather than the arms and legs.
In case a limb will not let go, just click anywhere and it will be still again. Likewise, if a limb does not react to being dragged immediately, just try clicking it again.
