Tufrane: Mapping the valleys from a balloon

tufrane.com Visit website
Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-world RPG about piloting a patchwork balloon over five valleys while mapping the collapsing cities beneath them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-30 issue.
For
Players who enjoy exploration, route-planning, hazards, and mapmaking
Worth noticing
The gondola is limited to 0–1,400 metres, and the stated morning updraft window lasts just two hours.

Field notes

The flight panel describes three controls—heat, coast, and vent air—with altitude selecting which current carries the gondola; it gives a 0–1,400 m ceiling and a 05:40–07:40 updraft window. The page frames mapping as ongoing loss: Ilke erases collapsed passages, while the Marrowbore is diverted rather than killed. Screenshots are labeled as captures from an internal build.
