How it feels

A slow, contemplative flight through a serene, painterly world with no urgency or obstacles.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing butterfly photography game but split on whether the flying controls hold it back: some find them slow and imprecise, others get used to them. The soundtrack and scenery are praised, though several note the music grows repetitive and the world has invisible walls.
