Winter Bliss is a chill video game that tries to replicate the meditative-like experience of cross-country skiing. It's not about speed, excitement, competition, or optimisation. It's about the feeling of being alone in nature, focusing on the motions, and trying to keep a good speed without getting tired. The goal is to maximize your "bliss score" in every trip.

You can play with the keyboard or with a controller that has shoulder buttons (like the typical PlayStation or Xbox controller). If you have a controller connected, the tutorial will show how to play with a controller. Otherwise, it will default to keyboard instructions.
