Turbo Pudding
Meet the people of Pine Hollow, the sanatorium in Fernevale
A stern Scottish nurse, a doctor with a buzzing glass tube, a suffragette napping under a Bible and a hedgehog in a hatbox: the people Daina meets in her first two chapters.
The story
A seventeen-year-old girl, a forest that only exists in her dreams, and a seed in her hand that says otherwise. A cozy, slightly eerie point-and-click adventure that begins in 1911.
England, October 1911. Daina Ozola is seventeen, comes from Riga and draws forests nobody has ever seen. Every full moon she dreams of the same dark wood: a blue bird, a warm window high up in a tree, a figure with a lantern. Every morning the doctors call it nerves, so she has been sent to Pine Hollow, a quiet sanatorium in Surrey.
Then one night she wakes up in Ward Seven with moss on her feet, red earth under her nails and a seed in her fist that grows nowhere in Europe. Her grandfather Opi, who left Riga when she was small, used to sing her a song about a forest across the sea. Daina decides the dream is not a dream. She slips out of the sanatorium, sails from Hull and goes home to Riga, to the treehouse Opi built and the map he left in it.
Fernevale is about believing what you see when the grown-ups say it isn’t there. It is cozy and a little eerie: night, fog, a forest that watches you, and then a hedgehog called Pudding snoring in a hatbox. Every scene is drawn by hand, and every puzzle grows out of the place you are standing in.
