As you begin the game, you find yourself faced with a complex dashboard full of knobs, sliders, and other unfamiliar instruments. The game provides no tutorials or explanations, leaving you to figure out how each control functions through hands-on experimentation.

❤ Learning the Interface

Gradually, you learn to manipulate the various tools, experiencing a clear sense of progression as you go from complete confusion to mastering the interface. One reviewer describes this process as "a puzzle game where the puzzle is figuring out the rules and what's going on." The reward of understanding the unconventional controls is frequently highlighted as a key strength of the experience.

❤ Exploring the Landscapes

With an understanding of the interface, you can then use the tools to adjust the game's abstract, ever-changing landscapes. The circular map can be modified in color, topology, and other visual properties, allowing you to uncover new areas, landmarks, and secrets hidden within the environment. Reviewers praise the sense of mystery and discovery in piecing together this alien world, describing it as a "contemplative experimental game" and "an experience which combines sandbox and alternative exploration/treasure hunt."

Scattered throughout the landscapes are clues and fragments that slowly reveal a narrative about a lost expedition. By finding these storytelling elements, you can piece together the fate of the explorers and the nature of the strange world they have discovered. Many reviewers highlight the minimal, ambient nature of the story as a positive, as it leaves much of the mystery and interpretation up to the player.
