Core Features

A cozy sandbox built around emergence, care, and creative play.

A Living World

Hand-crafted biomes, dynamic climates, and natural systems that change the landscape over time as the world responds to your actions.

Living Luminids

Small beings of light with needs, behaviours, and routines of their own. Guide them gently, or step back and observe how they adapt and interact.

Gentle World-Building

Shape the world from above using intuitive tools designed for calm, creative experimentation rather than optimisation or pressure.

Emergent Events

Migrations, discoveries, relationships, and turning points arise naturally from how the world and its inhabitants evolve together.

Cozy Sandbox Play

No combat. No fail states. Play at your own pace in a sandbox where expression, curiosity, and care drive progress.

Explore From Multiple Perspectives

Plan and shape the world from above, then drop in closer to explore environments and observe Luminids as they go about their lives.

Vision

Beings of light learn, work, and remember. Guide them like a patient star, or watch their story unfold. Every action you take, and every quiet moment you choose, becomes part of their history.

Living world

Biomes shift, climates change, and resources renew as the world responds over time.

Luminids with memory

Relationships, routines, and choices echo forward, shaping how Luminids live and grow.

Your light

Guide your Luminids gently, nurture growth, or simply observe what unfolds in your world.

"Every Luminid remembers. Every moment becomes part of their story."
