How it feels

You carefully rake sand in a serene garden, each move deliberate and final, requiring quiet thought to solve puzzles that feel both gentle and demanding.

What players say

Players split on whether the puzzles reward patience or just frustrate, but nearly everyone bought the game for its Steam profile background and achievements, not for the gameplay itself.
