How it feels
A serene, slow-paced exploration where you gently guide a rolling lightbulb through photorealistic landscapes with no pressure or failure.

What players say
Players are split on whether IDEA is relaxing or frustrating. The core loop has you bump a lightbulb through drone-filmed real-world scenes with only three clicks per screen and a timer, and for some that becomes tense rather than calming. A handful of endings exist, but longer-time players mention a bug where the lightbulb does not reappear after an ending without a manual restart.
