Soar over ruins and glide across sand as you explore an ancient world. Travel alone or with a fellow traveler through landscapes accompanied by music.
What makes it fun
Wait or go back
When a traveler you met along the way falls behind, you can stop and wait or go back for them. With no words to exchange, choosing to stay together says something on its own.
Slide over sand, soar with cloth
Slide down dunes, then lift into the air with help from the cloth. The shift from speeding over sand to floating above ruins changes how the journey feels.
Read the story in the ruins
Dialogue does not explain what happened to the ancient civilization. As you cross the desert, ruins and wall carvings offer clues for piecing together its past.
