Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds released for PC via Steam on September 3, with iOS and Android versions scheduled. A companion picture book is on sale.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 15h ago

Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds is a cloud-watching simulation game from DevilishGames, released for PC via Steam on September 3. The game presents the everyday act of seeing shapes in clouds as a structured activity, drawing on the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia. Players observe continuously changing clouds and a full day-night cycle to find hundreds of hidden shapes. The design deliberately omits enemies and time limits, offering a low-pressure alternative to conventional game mechanics.

The release extends beyond the screen with a companion search-and-find picture book containing 250 shapes, available on Amazon and other retailers. App Store and Android releases are scheduled, though the stories do not specify a date for those versions. The project turns a passive visual habit into both a game and a physical book, giving the concept two parallel formats at launch.
