About this game

Route planning becomes a quiet, satisfying puzzle.

Guide a pulse across a paper-like field of stones and reach the lantern before your pulses run out. Every move changes what comes next, so the answer is not just about finding a path. It is about reading the space, preserving options, and deciding when a small detour is worth it.

Each route gives you a clear objective:
• Move between adjacent stones one step at a time.
• Visit marked stones before reaching the exit.
• Read direction gates and respond to the way they must be approached.
• Manage a limited pulse count.
• Use up to three rewinds when your latest decision needs another look.

The 72-route progression starts with simple fields and gradually introduces larger maps, marked stones, and directional gates. Early routes teach the rhythm of observing and moving. Later routes ask you to think several steps ahead without hiding the information you need.

Your field notes track completed routes, fewest steps, and rewinds used. Return to a completed route to refine the line and make your planning more precise.

Route Atlas works offline and keeps progress on your device. There are no accounts, feeds, or time pressure. It is made for a focused three-to-eight-minute break, a quiet commute, or a slower puzzle before bed.
