How it feels

A gentle, thoughtful puzzle game where you float through dreamlike skies, rearranging clouds at your own pace while unraveling a quiet post-apocalyptic world.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and soothing music, but warn that the grid-sliding puzzles get surprisingly hard. Some hit a wall and had to stop because no walkthroughs exist. Around 10 hours for all shards, with optional stars that ramp up the difficulty.
