AER Memories of Old

You play as Auk, a pilgrim journeying through a world broken into islands above the clouds. As one of the last shapeshifters, she can transform into a bird to travel across the sky and explore the remnants of an ancient world.

Fly between islands, visit settlements and ruins, and discover places beyond the main route. In temples and caves, flight gives way to walking, jumping, and navigating platforming passages.

Use a lantern to reveal traces of the past and interact with mechanisms as you solve environmental puzzles. Conversations, inscriptions, and revealed memories gradually provide pieces of the world's history and point toward the next parts of Auk's pilgrimage.

Players who enjoy AER often praise the freedom of bird-form flight, the tranquil exploration, the stylized floating-island scenery, and the atmospheric music. Some also like piecing together the history through memories and environmental details. Recurring reservations include the brief, limited gameplay, simple puzzles, unclear directions, and a story that can feel fragmented or ambiguous.
