Needle in a Haystack – Casual Game About Finding a Needle in Huge Haystack
Needle in a Haystack is a literal 3D representation of the idiom “finding a needle in a haystack”. You have a gigantic haystack of 1.5 million blades of grass, and only 10 needles are in it. The task sounds simple enough, but the deeper you go, the more constricted the space, the darker the light, the harder it is to negotiate.
