Control the wind to carry a stream of flower petals around each landscape and watch as it comes to life.

What it’s like
Flower is a meditative journey through six distinct landscapes, beginning in a gray, industrial city and expanding into vibrant, natural environments. You control the wind, guiding a stream of petals to revive wilted flora and restore color to the world. The experience prioritizes emotional resonance over mechanical complexity, offering a sense of weightless freedom as you soar through open fields and dense forests. While there are subtle objectives like collecting petals or avoiding obstacles, the core loop is about immersion and aesthetic appreciation rather than challenge. It functions as an interactive poem, using motion controls to create a tactile connection with nature. The structure is linear but expansive, encouraging players to linger in moments of beauty. With its hauntingly beautiful score and seamless visual transitions, it delivers a short, impactful experience focused on tranquility and environmental harmony.
