Summary

A walking Simulator with minor puzzle elements, you spend most of your time just walking from location to location looking for keys and looking at kids’ drawings. The story is a search and rescue mission of your daughter but it never feels immediate or that anyone gives a dam. It was not a bad game or a good game but more just a simple no-frills walking around game with easy trophies.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
