- The solo set spans four chapters, while the two-player mode passes the Cradle between players and turns the picture toward whoever holds it.
Field notes
The page lays out four gestures—hook, drag, flick, and spread—and explains that the player can mirror one hand or make every move alone. It names figures including Soldier's Bed, Candles, Manger, and Cat's Eye for the passing game. The site also says play works offline and that the album remains on the iPhone; those are product claims on the page, not independently verified here.
