Steam review snapshots
It's minimalistic aesthetic serves well the feeling of exploration and the occasional bits of story you recieve from journal pieces and conversations…You get NO explanation and no direct aim, but I find it incredibly interesting to just wander about, bumping things, spreading colour…No clue what this game is, but it's fun in short bursts.Seems to be buggy from playing and reading the forums, some achievements may not be possible.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
