A relaxed, meditative journey across a cloud where you idly tidy the landscape and slowly unravel a quiet mystery.

What players say

Players praise the vivid, psychedelic art and music but warn it is very short, lasting 20 to 30 minutes. Many describe it as an art project or walking simulator rather than a game, with minimal challenge and no replay value. Controls frustrate some, and the price feels steep for the length.
