What Wayfinder is

Wayfinder was released in 2021. It was published by National Film Board of Canada. It is available on iOS and Web browser.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Wayfinder is a web-based generative art game that takes the player on a contemplative cause-and-effect journey through nature. Combining artificial intelligence, machine learning and generative processes, each experience is as unique and ephemeral as nature itself. Players move a mystical character through the landscape in search of poetic tokens which, when activated, reveal words hidden in the wind. The poems and visuals players see today will never appear in the exact same way ever again.
