You guide a silent princess through impossible, Escher-style buildings by rotating and sliding the architecture. It showed that a mobile game could be as beautiful as any art piece.

Tips
Play it better
- If you're stuck, rotate the structure; paths that look broken often connect from another angle.
- Look for handles and cranks on every surface, since most puzzles hinge on a single moving piece.
- Tap the Totem to move it; it can act as a bridge or hold down switches.
- The Crow People only walk forward, so think of them as moving blocks rather than enemies.
- Play with headphones, as the sound design reacts to your actions.
