You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you.
Additional context / comments
This is a fairly slow paced game; walking simulator + puzzles. The puzzles all center on the concept of drawing a line from point A to point B, but with varying rules that you must learn from a set of "tutorial" puzzles that will flash which elements have unmet completion conditions and then apply to further puzzles elsewhere in the open world: any element you come across that is unfamiliar and does not flash when wrong is something you must come back to later.
It is overall a very pretty game, with the puzzles presenting interesting challenges to solve, but occasionally the game runs afoul of design and will have you spend too much time walking back and forth to solve some of the larger scale puzzles; despite my misgivings about those and the one set of sound puzzles, I still recommend it.
