By the World's Wind

About

By the World's Wind lets you explore a handcrafted open world by steering a boat with wind currents. You visit islands, investigate caves, and interact with creatures while choosing between guided navigation or freeform drifting. The game emphasizes discovery over structured goals with minimal combat or resource management. Developer Leonardo Price designed the game around relaxed exploration and soft visuals. It runs on PC and Mac with a single-player focus. Players often note the calming atmosphere and how the weather system affects travel routes. The art style blends watercolor textures with simple animations to create a distinct look.
