The Story Behind the Art

Wild Rose Castle reveals a breathtaking, detailed glimpse into a realm you can only visit in your deepest dreams. Inside this forgotten sanctuary, completely overgrown with blooming wild roses and creeping ivy, you may unlock many different doors in search of a lost piece of your soul. This is the fragile part that separated in your youth, unable to bear the harsh, cold realities of the world and refusing to surrender its dreams. In this timeless, enchanted space, the lost soul lives on in the gentle company of cats, unicorns, swallows, and seahorses. Here, she endlessly weaves her dreams, living a life of pure ease, with no desire to ever leave. What would you have to promise her to make her willing to return to the waking world?

Hidden Details to Discover

The lost fragment of the soul is well protected deep within the castle walls. The fierce guardian of this sacred space is a mystical fairy clad in a copper mask, who allows no one to step inside without a rightful invitation.
