About the Game

This is a story for overthinkers.

You play as Pinto, a self-isolated person who lives with their one and only cow, Cuddo. But one night, Cuddo is abducted by a UFO. A space journey to find Cuddo begins. Somewhere between the stars and a very restless head, Pinto starts to wonder: what have I been holding onto, and why?

  • Rumination System

Inside Pinto's mind, thoughts are chewed, swallowed, and re-chewed — the way cows ruminate — generating both new ideas and stubborn pain. Switch freely between the world layer and the mind layer. Explore environments, talk to characters, and pick up thoughts out there, then dive inward to chew on them. What you process (or don't) changes what you can see and do in the world.

  • Planets with Their Own Philosophy

Each world you land on has its own way of being with thoughts. No planet has the right answer, and neither does the game.

  • An Absurd Story with a Sincere Heart

A UFO abduction. A folk-scientist with very questionable methodology. A cow that may or may not be findable. 

  • Warm, Weird, Hand-Drawn

Oil-crayon environments and storybook characters that invite you into a world that is wonderfully strange, and somehow exactly right.
