About

Sakurayu

Features
Read full description

Cherry blossoms fall from an old tree beside a river. A small woven basket drifts in the current. Gather the petals gently into the basket — not with force, but with patience. Each season asks a little more of you. The wind shifts. The river quickens. But there is no timer, no score, no failure. Only the quiet rhythm of petals on water. Sakurayu is a meditative game about presence and impermanence. Play through dozens of seasons, each one passing like the last. Drag to move the basket through a flowing river. Wind carries petals in gentle, unpredictable gusts. Petals settle in the basket. You don't know how many seasons you will get, so enjoy it while it lasts...
