Wayfinder

In the free-to-play online game Wayfinder, the players move a character across the landscape, in search of tokens that reveal lyrical fragments hidden in the wind. This eventually advances the player to the next stage of the experience and, according to the game's website, brings them "closer to fully restoring nature’s balance".
