Field notes

Navigation is presented as an in-world activity: players follow road signs, hiking markers, maps, and landmarks instead of on-screen quest markers. The bike is more than transport; ringing its bell after restoring a gate stone opens a route into a changed version of familiar places. The studio says the game remains in development and offers a newsletter for updates and playtest invitations.
