Journey
The steps of my shrouded avatar are slow and governed by the environment. The artistically aquatic sand splashes underneath the wanderers gait. A steep incline reduces the pace of movement until it’s mounted. Once crested, sliding down the dune’s reverse side introduces the game’s innocent playfulness. This feels like surfing.
