For people interested in the origins of Shardlight: The developers made a couple (that is, two) miniature games way back in the Summer of 2013. Can be found here http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1704/

Thank you for sharing this. Without this post I wouldn't have known these prequel minigames exist. Getting to see some characters before the events of the main game was a good complement to Shardlight. I enjoyed them, especially The Rebirth. And I was in the mood for something short, so the fact that you can complete each one in 15 minutes or so was a plus.
