The game is about a little girl named Jitter who wants to see her grandmother. However, this is not going to be an easy task, as her grandmother lives far away, and the girl's parents died before the beginning of the game. Did we mention that the game takes place in Europe during WorldWarII? And that Jitter is Jewish?

The game is strong on story, and it's not a particularly cheery one. We seriously suggest bringing some tissues with you.
