Sable is a young girl from a nomadic tribe who embarks on a solitary pilgrimage as her rite of passage into adulthood. Using a flying motorcycle, she heads to a vast desert with countless ruins and wrecks of spaceships. All that in order to discover the truth about oneself and the surrounding world. The whole game uses unique graphics, reminiscent of the works of Moebius. In the gameplay, however, you can see inspirations from such titles as Shadow of the Colossus and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The mentioned ruins hide numerous secrets, and in order to uncover them, you'll need keen observation skills and interaction with the environment while solving puzzles. We can help the nomads we encounter, which often brings us closer to discovering the secret behind the remains of the spaceships. It's worth mentioning that, unlike typical open-world games, the map is not filled with various markers – we traverse the desert using the hints we have heard and independently studying the map.
