Flower
ESCAPE TO A DREAMLIKE WORLD From the studio behind the genre-bending titles Journey and flOw comes Flower, a unique gaming experience that lets you soar through a dreamlike world of luscious fields and rolling hills. Control the wind to carry a stream of flower petals around each landscape and watch as it comes to life. Every level has its own unique aims and little mysteries – but you don’t have to worry about them if you don’t feel like it. Flower is about doing what you want, when you want. Freedom is everything.
What it feels like
A pervasive calm, unhurried peace defines the player experience—freedom to explore without pressure or threat. Childlike discovery and the marvelous are central as environments come alive and reveal their beauty. The dreamlike atmosphere and mysterious elements invite reflection and interpretation without demanding answers.
What it's about
The natural world—fields, flowers, landscapes—and environmental awakening is the central subject. The dreamlike world and surreal awakening of the landscape root the experience in dream logic. A contemplative voyage through transforming landscapes forms a gentle narrative arc.
How it plays
Controlling wind-carried petals that soar through landscapes is the core traversal and interaction mode. Each level has unique aims and mysteries woven into the landscape, solvable through environmental interaction.
How it looks and sounds
Lush fields and rolling hills are rendered in saturated, bold color that defines the visual identity throughout. The camera follows behind or above the petal stream as it moves through environments. Despite vibrant color, visual design strips away excess to focus on essential forms and space.
How it's structured
A solitary, introspective journey with no multiplayer component whatsoever. Player chooses the order of exploration and engagement with each level's mysteries and aims. Lush environments are explored in a largely non-linear, player-chosen order with freedom as the design principle.
