Story

After refusing to help someone in need, you’re cursed by a mischievous fairy to see the world only through other people’s eyes. Explore a realm of floating islands — not from your own view, but through the wandering gazes of strangers in this second-person platformer. Platform through a world of floating islands and caves, with your camera perspective being only the eyes of those nearby. People are scattered across the land, watching from afar—watch them walk, trip, sneeze, or blink, or take matters into your own hands and toss them around. And for an extra challenge, activate hard mode and face it all with no checkpoints.
