Mountain man's April

A mountain man lying on his back looking at the sky. Then, my legs and head felt unnecessarily light, and I felt strange, like I was floating upside down in the air. What happened to the mountain man after that?
It was a very strange and mysterious event.

You will be drawn into the story with the warm and fuzzy watercolors and the vibrant screen development.
