The Initiation is played in landscape, with the joystick on the left and the buttons on the right.
No account, no sign-up. Your progress, journal and settings are saved automatically in the app, on this phone. That means:
Options > My data > Download my journey saves a backup file. Load my journey brings it back, or carries it to another device. Do it every so often, like anything you care about.
What you write stays with you. It is kept on your phone, not on our servers. Nobody else can read it, including us.
The valley is wide. The Initiation plays in landscape.
