About the Game

Ngayak is a calm desktop idle experience inspired by traditional river sand sifting.

While the game quietly runs in the background, sand from a mountain river is gradually processed to reveal hidden minerals. Each discovery is added to your personal museum collection, slowly building a record of rare stones and small treasures found over time.

Designed as a gentle background companion, Ngayak doesn’t demand constant attention. You can check in occasionally, see what new minerals have appeared, and watch your small museum grow day by day. It’s a slow, relaxing experience made to sit peacefully on your desktop while you work, study, or relax.

Gameplay

Ngayak runs quietly on the desktop as an idle companion.

River sand is gradually sifted over time, revealing different minerals and stones. Each discovery is automatically added to your museum collection. As more minerals are found, your personal museum slowly expands into a record of everything discovered along the river.

You can open the game anytime to check new discoveries and continue expanding your collection.
