From the co-creators of The Longest Road on Earth comes IDEA, an art game about wonder, discovery, and sharing.
Send your ideas, represented by a white lightbulb, out to explore the world. Watch them from a bird’s eye view as they roll and fall, bouncing around gorgeous landscapes recorded in 4K resolution by award-winning filmmaker Olli Huttunen, with no loading times between screens.
Your idea will get stuck every now and then – houses, guardrails, or even trees can become a barrier. But twice per screen, you can help it out and clear its way, so it can keep advancing. Who knows where your idea may arrive…?
Sometimes, your idea will end its journey without reaching its destination – but it can help other people’s ideas in the future, or even yourself. Write a thought, a piece of a song, a verse -- and share it. Now is out there, forever, for all the world to see.
And when you begin a new journey, you’ll see other people’s ideas. Save your favorite ones, and see how many people have saved yours. Enjoy this journey accompanied by a charming, soothing original soundtrack, in this game inspired by the award-winning short film IDEA, by Olli Huttunen.

Not Recommended
The gameplay is not "relaxing" in any sense; it's tense, unwieldy, and unfun, and after playing to one of the endings it had nothing of interest or artistic merit to say. I'm all for games that take a stab at artsy, but you need to have some kind of actual thought or message instead of a vague platitude. I'd refund this if I could.
