How it feels

A relaxing, thoughtful word game where you slowly build words on an open grid while managing oxygen, exploring a stylized space map, and upgrading items at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as Scrabble in space, but warn you have to unlearn typical word game scoring because larger words cost more oxygen. Reviews praise the roguelike mission mode for quick runs and the journey mode for open-ended exploration, but some find it too simple or frustrating, with complaints about clunky controls, small text, and a lack of tutorial.
