Players traverse beautifully crafted landscapes that reflect different stages of life, solving environmental puzzles and navigating obstacles with time-manipulation mechanics. Each level represents an emotion or memory, such as joy, grief, or hope, creating a deeply personal and immersive experience.
The minimalist narrative is conveyed through visuals, music, and motion rather than dialogue. The game’s striking art style combines hand-painted landscapes with fluid animations, while the orchestral soundtrack dynamically responds to player actions.
