Tailwind: A Sleep Sailing Game
You are not the captain — you are the wind. Lay gusts and lulls to carry a little sloop and her Skipper across a moonlit archipelago. A slow, pretty sailing roguelike to unwind to — even fall asleep to, with soundscapes, a wake-up alarm, and a boat that sails itself.

About This Game

You are the wind.

A little sloop crosses a moonlit sea, and her Skipper sails it alone; trimming, tacking, dodging reefs, trusting the sky to provide. The sky is you. Drag gusts across the water to fill her sails; lay lulls to becalm her before the rocks. You can nudge her, or knock her flat. You can even swap places and steer her.

Reach twenty havens across a quiet sea threaded with reefs. Every landing is a harbormaster's stall. Take one of three finds across four rarities to grow her hull, her sails, and your own breath. Real sailing physics underneath: apparent wind, a no-go zone, heel and capsize. Every sea is new.

Or take the helm. Swap places with a keypress and you steer while the Skipper becomes the wind, whistling up your breeze. When the air dies completely, she rows by hand.

A game designed to be boring.

Tailwind is built to unwind to... and, honestly, to fall asleep to. Choose a soundscape: Moonlit Night, Storm-Lulled (rain and far-off thunder), or Daydream Lofi ... each with its own ten-minute tracks, twelve in all, crossfaded so nothing ever loops in your ear. A day dial turns the whole sky from high sun through a moonrise down to full black. Set a wake-up alarm and drift off: she sails on her own, sea after sea, and at your hour the dawn rises and a ship's bell gently wakes you.

Features:

- Blow gusts and lulls, or take the helm, two ways to play one calm sea

- 20-haven procedural voyages with upgrades and reefs to read

- Three living soundscapes with day and night skies and a full day-dial

- 12 original ~10-minute tracks, tuned on sleep research

- A wake-up alarm and a boat that sails itself overnight

- Full controller and touch support

- Every voyage a fresh seed a quiet roguelike to nap about
