The game
You are Aura, carrying a cloth kite and a small brass bell across the broken terraces and up into the windy heights. Each level ends at a camp; the lantern lights when you arrive.
Hold jump while falling to open the kite and glide. Violet wind columns lift an open kite, and some blow on and off. Cracked stone drops when you stop on it, crows caw and then dive, and patrol drones sweep a red light: hide under stone or hanging cloth until it passes. A fall or being spotted sends you back to the last cairn, and the clock keeps running.
Every level has three stars: reach the camp, find all three relics, and beat the par time. Each star is kept on its own, so you can earn them in different runs, and every relic you find writes a line in the journal about life before the war.
Later levels close the way with bell gates: jump up into the hanging bells in the right order to open them. Finish all nine for the ending, then find your total on the score table. Beat every par and the camps will have something for you.
