How it feels

A peaceful and contemplative auditory journey through lush, abstract soundscapes, encouraging slow exploration and relaxation.

What players say

Players call it a hypnotic audio-only walking simulator that works with eyes closed and headphones on. You must read the manual first or you will not understand what to do. It lacks text-to-speech in menus, making it hard for visually impaired players to navigate. Some report minor stutter and want more content.
