////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You are a bird at the top of a structure too large to understand. The only way home is down.

Dive through abandoned residential blocks, blacked-out utility voids, cisterns, gantries, concrete canyons, flooded infrastructure, and machinery built for somebody else. Kick from walls, ride the architecture, preserve your feathers, and turn a controlled fall into something much faster and much less controlled.

Every descent reshuffles the route, architectural layers, vista order, obstacle placement, and fog. Your timer pauses during vistas and records splits for the run.

Controls

• WASD or Arrow keys - control
• Shift - toggle dive
• Space - airbrake
• Space while diving against a wall - wall kick
• Kick from a flat wall - redirect
• Kick from a sloped wall - turbo boost
• Perch or wallride - restore feathers

Go fast. Don’t crash.
