How it feels

A calm, strategic sandbox where you gently shape terrain to nurture a village by balancing water, land, and plant life.

What players say

Players describe it as a unique god game where you can only shape sand, not control the little triangle people directly. They find it therapeutic to watch the ecosystem and civilization develop, though some say it feels both overly simple and complicated. A few compare it to From Dust with mixed results, and there are reports of a black screen on startup.
