"Meet me at NooN" is a turn-based grid platformer where you control two spirits, Day and Night, who are separated from the Grand Hourglass. Each spirit can move and perform one action per turn in a time loop, with the day-spirit rewinding its actions and the night-spirit replaying its own. The objective is to manipulate the spirits' unique behaviors and time loops to align sun and moon symbols in each level.
