A calm, contemplative sandbox for intuitively exploring the visual effects of general relativity around black holes.

What players say

Players say this is a short, purely visual experience that lasts about two minutes. Some praise its Interstellar-like mood, while others find the lack of educational content disappointing. Performance is a real issue, with players reporting high GPU usage and low framerates on modern hardware.
