A lonely, atmospheric journey through pixelated wilderness where you gather resources, solve mysteries, and unravel a spiritual tale while surviving an encroaching winter.

What players say

Players are split on this surreal survival-puzzle hybrid. Some love figuring out the obtuse progression through randomized areas, while others find the puzzles too vague and the story unsatisfying. Long-time players note that major updates through 2021 made the game more accessible and clarified the path forward.
