iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

When a mysterious figure, taps on the window of young bookworm, Curtis Stringfellow, confirms the existence of fairytales, a new story unravels. Curtis is chased into the crumbling storybook world of Chartam where Curtis' storybook knowledge may be the key to its survival. [ #DVPit #MG #LGBT #F ]

A black and white digital graphic picturing a young child's arms holding open a book with three glowing moths on its pages. From the book sprouts tendrils of red thread with the word threadbare.
