Strange Scaffold

A zoomed out picture of Bertie's tower in Tiny Glade, a game about building castley things in a glade. It's dinky, like a toy, and it's really nicely designed. I mean, you'll have to take my word for that but if I were a castle-judging, um, judge, I would award this the grand prize. No I'm not Bertie how dare you! Quick, run!
