How it feels

A contemplative yet tense glide through alpine ruins, where each discovery and encounter balances serene flight with sharp, punishing action.

What players say

Players admire the game's striking origami-like art and atmosphere, but nearly all say difficult controls and getting stuck in terrain spoil the experience. Most find the gameplay tedious and the ending unsatisfying, though a few connect with the movement once it clicks.
