This is an innovative game design that is set in the sky. The symbolically individualistic world view created by the tone shaded graphics and game music has been praised as "unprecedented," "innovative," and "next-generation game" by many users, which led to the presentation of this award.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
PLATFORM
PlayStation Network

This title does away with all of game purpose information, screens displaying information, and the conversation and text elements to create a world steeped in mystery.
Many games tend to be created to be in depth and based on using much explanation, but there are almost no games that created using only the bare minimum of what is necessary.
And while this game is selected by people, it was given named as the 2012 Game Designers Award winner for its clear approach and overall high quality including that of its graphics and sound.
