You are Toku, a small, village boy, and Enril, spirit of the wind. Together you set off on a short, 4-hour adventure to free the idyllic Mistralis from the curse of Balazar. The gameplay is all puzzle-based, 2D platforming, with a world map that flows from deep caves to high waterfall, Metroid-style. A feeling of calm pervades LostWinds. Its spare soundtrack evokes a natural beauty that complements its clean, simple visuals of feudal Mistralis (Japan).
