10 itemsAbout the Game
This walking simulator takes you through 30 levels of relaxing and low-stakes cartography fun. Chill out to the ambient melancholy soundtrack. Use triangulation to reveal as much or as little of the map as you'd like before moving on. Dig up playful knick-knacks and explore off the beaten path for hidden secrets.
As you advance through each level, you'll begin to uncover hints of the origin of this world and those who came before you. Why are you here? How did you get here? Why must you endlessly press on and GRAB THE CACHE? Everything looks weird and from time to time you come across things that look downright broken. Will scraps of information that others have left behind ultimately reveal this world's secrets and perhaps a way out?
POWER LANDMARKS
Touching, triangulating or otherwise mapping landmarks will power them up, revealing a part of the map.
TRIANGULATE TO REVEAL
Use your compass to triangulate between two powered landmarks, revealing an even larger area of the map.
MAP THE CACHE
Once you've spotted the cache zone, reveal it in its entirety to activate your metal detector.
FIND THE CACHE
Follow the metal detector's beeping to zero in on the dig spot.
GRAB THE CACHE
Dig with your shovel to reveal the cache and the collectible inside.
