Cloudbuilt captures the dreamlike feeling of flying and falling (preview)

One figure lies bandaged and unconscious on a hospital bed, while another stands over her, pale blue and translucent. The body never moves, but her spirit can still run, leap, and fly through a mental maze to regain her life and memories.

This is the affecting premise of Cloudbuilt, a 3D platformer from Coilworks and Rising Star Games available Thursday on PC. You play as a war veteran whose body is broken but spirit remains nimble. To piece together her past and help her recovery, you guide her spirit through incredibly complex obstacle courses full of massive jumps, laser barriers, and gun turrets.
