Cutesy animations and world design.
You (the wind) whisper your commands to the pupils.

The bar can show upcoming weather and any dangers that might appear.
Halt-a a stopping place.
No enemies only resource gathering and survival against nature.
You unlock new stories, rewards, and tribes by just playing.
The campaign is an excellent starting point.
Kind of zen-like approach.
