How it feels

A quiet, introspective experience of tending to a farm and animals while letters from afar bring a growing sense of loss and unease.

What players say

Players are split on The Stillness of the Wind. Many praise its emotional, somber story about aging and isolation, but almost everyone agrees the gameplay is slow, repetitive, and lacks direction. Some find the pacing meditative, others frustrating, and a few report losing goats to wolves in ways that feel unfair and arbitrary.
