Description


 

A desperate letter summons detective Paul Trilby to a peculiar island town, divided by a wall and ruled by a Hospital. Regular citizens get admitted and then return without their memories. A sinister conspiracy is afoot. Can you get to the bottom of this mystery?

 

Follow the meaning is a surreal, hand-drawn, point-and-click adventure inspired by classic titles like Samorost and the Rusty Lake series.

 

 

Use wit, curiosity and lateral thinking to puzzle your way towards a solution, helped by the citizens you meet along the way. Remember that there is always a grain of truth in the local gossip.

 


 

A short, strange, satisfying adventure for those in search of something different.

 

Features
 

■ Hand-drawn art brings the offbeat world to life

Free your mind and your ___ will follow!

A lovely game with very neat puzzles. The art style is hand drawn with a cozy and comfortable feel to it. The music is great, it gives away a kind of happy sadness, which reflects the storyline that deals with abuse of authority relating to mental health. An interesting story that unfolds little by little, and is delivered in a quirky and light way despite the gravity of its subject matter.

A quick distraction

The game is a very short and simple point-and-click puzzle adventure. The story is slightly surreal and involves a mash of unethical scientists, crazy people, aliens, and evolved humans. It has some simple puzzles where you need to find a hidden key or a hint. But the puzzles are never difficult and the solutions are often present on the same screen or not too far. If you have an hour to waste, this is a perfect solution.

Groundhog Day

Cool little point-and-click adventure game with art similar in style to work of polish cartoonist Marek Raczkowski (if you know, you know).
