Play as an ordinary red fox whose journey becomes entwined with the spirit guardian of the Northern Lights. Together, they travel through Iceland-inspired landscapes and ruins in a story told without dialogue or narration.
Explore, run, jump, and investigate each area while solving environmental puzzles. Use spirit-given abilities to activate runestones and alter parts of the surroundings; there is no combat.
The adventure moves through a sequence of chapters, with the fox following the spirit guide and encountering traces of a lost civilization. Optional exploration includes finding shaman spirits and their staffs.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its scenic landscapes, atmospheric music, quiet storytelling, and relaxed pace, especially the chance to explore as a fox. Others find the slow traversal and simple puzzles repetitive, and some say unclear directions and awkward movement make the journey less relaxing than expected.
