A quest to find phone signal leads to a glorious game of exploration and reconnection.

An utterly charming and perfectly paced mini-adventure that packs in more character, emotion, and sense of wonder than most 30 hour epics.

With the smile on my face

I play a lot. I play on PC, on emulation handhelds and so on. I play at least an hour a day because of the long road to work. You can Imagine how much stuff I've played. There are a lot of games worth playing But this game is just ... unique. A pure kindness, freedom, relaxation and cozyness that I need SO MUCH now when I was forced to leave my homeland. This is a short and beautiful adventure I just can't get enough. And I was not able to find anything that can replicate something that this game gives me.

Cute relaxing game to get lost in.

Fun game to chill out with. G-rated and family friendly . Low poly graphics run well on my old pc and are nice to look at. The game recognized my PS controller right off and handles well with it. Quests are solved with exploration and using items to accomplish things. There are lots of NPCs that give information and quests and things to do, dialog is simple with quite a few funny moments. The only downside is there is no in-game map which is where the 'get lost' part comes in. The camera is always spinning around and I found navigation to be difficult and often ended up running around in circles. There is a compass but without a map to reference it's not very useful. Even a simple map that would just show my location would have been a lot of help. Still though the game is definitely worth taking a look at and if you find it on sale pick it up for sure, you'll enjoy it.

Hit me right in the feels

What a lovely, charming, unexpected little adventure! The end made me tear up, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Excellent little game!

Easy to control and relax by the game

I was new to game controllers and I wanted to try an simple game that I can enjoy while being clumsy with the controller. The game is perfect for that while being nicely relaxive, positive and really nice for a short break after a long work day.
