How it feels

A calming, visually rich puzzle-platformer where you glide through handcrafted worlds to the accompaniment of a soothing soundtrack.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Journey, often finding it a shorter, simpler imitation that falls short of its inspiration. It offers relaxing platforming and puzzles in a beautiful setting, but many note the story is vague, puzzles are unchallenging, and the ending feels abrupt.
