About
Blight has infected the land, forcing humanity to live upon the branches of the World Tree. After a chance encounter with a strange child, your world begins to fall apart. Navigate ruins, read the wind, and take a leap of faith into this thrilling action adventure game.
Key Features
- Navigate a Crumbling World – The earth has been afflicted with Blight, forcing humanity to build new homes upon the branches of the World Tree.

After encountering a Fell Child, however, one soldier goes against orders and resolves to escort them to the surface world.
- A Thrilling Descent – Navigate crumbling platforms, brace against strong winds, and make sure you land on steady ground. On the precarious branches of the World Tree, one misstep could spell your doom.
