The trailer showcases many sublime landscapes and mysterious puzzles that define the game’s core experience. From enigmas of perspective to mazes, logic problems, and environmental challenges, the trailer highlights the rich variety of puzzles that fill every corner of this peaceful world.

“Each of our puzzles is carefully placed and thoughtfully crafted to be relaxing, challenging, and satisfying to find and solve,” adds Rylance. “They also vary in difficulty, making this both a welcoming experience for newcomers and an engaging one for more seasoned puzzle fans.”
