About the Game

[THIS GAME IS A DEMO]

Stuck in an alien world, explore the sand dunes of Dying Sun to find a way to break free.

The desert offers several paths, and it’s up to you to explore them at your own pace. Discover an ancient ruin to deepen your understanding of the world’s history. Let yourself be soothed by a gliding flow, slide freely across the sands, and interact with artifacts from a long-lost civilization. The deeper you venture into the ruins, the more challenging it becomes to navigate. Only by strengthening your symbiotic relationship with the desert can you find a way out and perhaps uncover a few secrets along the journey.

A flow-oriented game with vibrant movements.

● A handcrafted cinematic experience in a poetic world.

● Glide, jump, and learn the ways of the desert to unlock your full potential.
