Steam review snapshots
Storm Boy brings to life the adventures of a young boy, his companion pelican, and all the unique characters that populate dunes…every activity has a help screen describing the controls, which are basically wasd or holding the left mouse button to move, clicking…it's pretty charming and atmospheric, okay to kill half an hour, but it was too short and a bit rushed for anything…On the other hand, the mini-games are so innocuous that most players, young and old, will probably get bored with them very…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
