How it feels

You drift through surreal, quiet spaces, gently layering melodies from everyday objects as a lonely, hypnotic wind carries the music.

What players say

Players describe it as a trippy, experimental VR music experience rather than a game, very short at 5 to 10 minutes with 80 discoverable melodies. Visuals are surreal and eclectic, and performance can be demanding on the GPU. Some buyers note abuse allegations against the artist as a reason to avoid it.
