------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hero is a girl with wings.
The player operates her.
Players will score by approaching birds and flowers by gliding through the deeply spreading vertical holes.
This is a simple action adventure game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Easy.
And freedom air.
But, this wing does not flutter.

There is a vertical hole that ends infinitely.
A bottomless cave that lasts forever.
The girl's name is Gar Gooyo Lilienthal.
She does not know her name.
She does not know why she is here.
However, there were beautiful flowers and birds there and I was able to play together...

!!! This game has no purpose. It is a game that only drifts.



"Time required"
First ending: about 1 hour
All clear: about 3 hours
