No, said Aziraphale, it's ineffable.

Yesterday we went for a walk to Šeškinės Ozas (”ozas” is the lithuanian for the geological-geographical term “esker”, and it means it used to be a glacier in here! :O).

There was this tiny pond absolutely full of tadpoles, who were very friendly and came right away to taste my finger XD Til now, i had only seen tadpoles on the tv or books, and the ones from @stickyfrogs, so i enjoyed a lot meeting these ones! ^_^

Sadly i don’t know that much to know how old they are or which species they belong :( (but there is a total of 8 frog and toad species in Lithuania, so, not that many to check! XD)

I’ll try to come back there in a pair of weeks or so to see how they’re growing :)

Holy smokes I booted up Azrael’s Tear and this game does not fail to mesmerize me.

Here’s a take on the creature Sasha I did somewhere last year.

From the wikia:

“Sasha is a water creature who lives in the canals, drains, fountains and waterways of Aeternis. She is the last of an ancient race of beings who have vague links to both humans and whales. She looks human and female but is not, for her skin is composed of millions of minute scales, her song, clawed fingers are webbed and her bottom half consists of long dual fins. Her teeth are sharp and triangular and her eyes are slit like a lizard’s, with a double eyelids like an alligator’s. All the creatures of the waterway obey her. The rest of her race inhabited the open seas and died out many millions of years ago, but she favoured the deep, ancient waterways of the caves under Dunstanburgh and survived, nurtured by the surrounding Grailstone. She is old and wise now, but terribly alone. Tobias found her centuries ago, befriended her and taught her to speak English. She is therefore aware of the Holy Grail, the Raptors and the terrible Vision of the future that Tobias has foreseen. A player can sometimes summon her by tapping on the side of her fountain on Level One (near the Grand Library) or else she may appear in one of the other fountains or canalways on Level Two. Her thought processes are very different from ours which makes her difficult to understand, but if a player perseveres and a relationship develops, she may confer a gift of knowledge about the waterways.“

This game is a gem, I believe it’s abandonware now so if you like puzzle heavy immersive sims to the max and can spare the time and hassle of setting up Dosbox give it a go!
