About the Game

Catching Frogs Isn't Just An Activity; It's A Way Of Life!

Reconnect with What Matters in a Wholesome, Heartfelt Adventure
Years after the loss of his young son, Erik, Bruce finds himself standing in the doorway of Erik’s untouched bedroom. Among scattered toys and fading memories, he discovers a small journal labeled simply: “Dad.”

Inside are Erik’s hand-written instructions; playful quests guiding Bruce back to the lakes, forests, and hidden corners where Erik once spent his days catching frogs and creating imaginary adventures.

A Quiet Journey of Healing

Step into a peaceful, reflective world inspired by childhood wonder. Explore serene lakes, lush forests, and forgotten hideaways as Bruce carries out his son's final request.
• Catch and catalogue the frogs Erik once called his friends
• Uncover memories hidden throughout the environment

The more Bruce reconnects with the world his son cherished, the more the journal opens up to reveal touching messages, sketches, and stories Erik left behind.

A Whimsical Frog Kingdom Awaits

What begins as a simple journey of remembrance slowly grows into something magical. As Bruce deepens his understanding, he learns to communicate with the frogs, and they have a problem:
Their kingdom is in danger, and they’re in desperate need of a hero.

Help Bruce aid the frogs in their struggle, forge alliances with quirky amphibian characters, and uncover the mystery threatening their world.
