For iPhone and iPad

A landscape is waiting under the grid.

Put your finger on the faint shapes. Every line you clear stays lit, and when a shape’s outline is finished its colour comes in. No tools, no levels, no timer — lines, colour and music, until you feel like stopping.

A large landscape, still faint under the grid The same landscape, uncovered: villages, rivers, forests, a cathedral, a snow country
The Long Country — 32 × 24 tiles, one picture for a whole season.

Drag across it. Nothing can go wrong here: where there is no line nothing happens, and where there is one it lights.

0 / 0

One tile of twelve from “Bell at Night”. In the app the smallest picture is 12 tiles; the largest is 768.

Ten pictures, four sizes

Every picture is drawn by an engine of our own on the same grid the app traces — houses, trees, roads, rivers, and landmarks hidden among them. Three are free to begin with.

Something is hidden by the mark

On the map a small gold ring is all you are given. What it marks — a cathedral, a chapel, a pagoda, a tower of glass, a white tomb, a sawtooth roof — you learn only by uncovering it.

Someone walks through

Six short films shot inside these landscapes. A figure comes along the road, stops for a moment, and goes on — passing behind the houses, because every house and tree in a picture knows how far away it is. He is not in the app; this is simply what the places look like with someone in them.

Music to leave on

Twenty-four songs in three volumes. One plays, the next follows — there is nothing to choose. When a song ends the view steps back for a breath, so you can see how far you have come. Leave it off and your own music keeps playing; the app will not interrupt it.

These twenty-four are the Chillfriends episodes. Watch or listen to them all at swiftian.com →
