Steam review snapshots
A fishing rod reminds you of a trip with your father.This is a walking simulator and you play a man who comes out and finds his dog missing from his kennel.The memories can be emotional, especially if you're a dog lover….which I am not.On your search you explore the world and will find some items, like a gamepad, a smartphone and so on.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by relaxing, story rich, no combat.
