❤ Craft a Unique Roleplaying Identity

The game allows you to choose from over 20 distinct "Forms" during character creation, focusing on personality and identity rather than stats and classes. This encourages you to roleplay in a style that matches your chosen character, and set your own personal goals, rather than following a predetermined questline.

❤ Uncover the World's Mysteries through Exploration

Without any quest markers, journals or objective indicators, the gameplay revolves around organic discovery. You must pay close attention to dialogues, item descriptions and your surroundings to uncover quests, points of interest and hidden secrets within the game's "hand-painted" and "layered" world, providing a sense of depth and mystery.

❤ Progress through Passive and Emergent Activities

Your progression is not tied to grinding or completing objectives. Instead, you can gain experience through a variety of activities like exploring, being courteous to NPCs, gathering resources and trading. Combat, while present, is not the primary focus, and some enemies will even flee if they perceive you as too powerful. The "Spell" system also allows you to learn and activate a wide range of passive and active abilities to customize your playstyle.

❤ Communicate Through a Minimalist Symbolic Language

Player-to-player interaction is limited to a set of symbolic emotes, as the game does not feature any in-game chat or voice functionality. This "Knot Language" system encourages you to communicate in creative and cooperative ways with random encounters, fostering a sense of mystery and camaraderie.

❤ Forge Memorable Temporary Relationships

The game's "Tiny Multiplayer Online" (TMO) design means player encounters are rare but meaningful. Without persistent social structures like guilds, you must rely on temporary fellowships and chance meetings to cooperate on tasks or simply experience the world together. These fleeting connections are described by players as "special" and "memorable".

❤ Immerse Yourself in a Serene, Contemplative Atmosphere

The game is renowned for its slow, meditative pacing that encourages a relaxed, exploratory playstyle. The atmospheric soundtrack, hand-drawn art style and lack of overt objectives create a serene, contemplative experience that appeals to players seeking a respite from more action-oriented games.
