  • Adventure
  • Exploration
  • Cosy

Claire has to reach the top of a mountain on a small island to get phone signal. Along the way you glide, climb, fish and talk to charming characters. You can finish it in an afternoon, but it invites you to wander.

Why play it now

When you want a complete, lovely experience with no pressure at all: it fits in one or two sessions and leaves you in a good mood.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to explore without maps full of icons and without combat. It's also ideal for people who don't play much.

When not to pick it

If you want something to last weeks or a challenge: it's short and gentle on purpose.

What it offers

  • Relaxing: 100 out of 100
  • Exploring: 90 out of 100
  • Story: 50 out of 100
