Description
-
Ready, Wind-up, Fly!’ is a 3rd person adventure-puzzle game that blends emotionally rich storytelling with inventive physics-based puzzles. Set in a whimsical world, you play as a wind-up toy pilot on a journey to help a little girl fulfil her dream of "flying".
Her bedroom becomes your playground, where you uncover your origins, piece together the girl's hopes and fears, and go through several trials to carry her dreams to the sky.
