Overview
- The wordless adventure from Double Fine and Xbox Game Studios is out now on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, with day-one access on Xbox Game Pass and a standalone price listed around $30/£24.99.
- Players control a sentient lighthouse partnered with a seabird named Twig, progressing through a post-human landscape guided by expressive animation rather than dialogue.
- Core interactions use the lighthouse’s beam and Twig’s switch-flipping, with mechanics that later expand to new movement styles and time-based puzzles without revealing story surprises.
- Critics widely praise the surreal, painterly art direction and atmosphere, noting a brief runtime of roughly five to six hours and accessible, often linear puzzle design.
- Double Fine has asked the community to avoid spoilers to preserve discovery, and several outlets disclosed they received review copies from Xbox Game Studios.
