## What is The Whirling Dervish?

Step into the stillness of ancient stone chambers. You are a whirling dervish, moving through rooms of a hammam, a kervansaray, a bazaar, and beyond. Each step turns you clockwise. Each move must be planned.

Stand beside other dervishes to charge them with your presence. Once charged, they follow your every move. Guide each one to their destined place, avoid the fire, and clear the room.

30 handcrafted puzzles across 6 Ottoman-themed chapters. No timers, no pressure. Just you, the stone, and the silence between moves.

Featuring an original ney soundtrack and visuals inspired by Turkish architecture and Sufi tradition.

No ads. No in-app purchases.
