Absolutely love this little game, so much so that I wrote into DLC podcast to shout it out and it got read on air! Theme: I love the cozy reminder that life isn’t about pushing as hard as you can and burning out. Art: I was originally not sure about the pixel art style in the still images, but it’s really lovely in motion, it works super well for the game, as does the beautiful colour schemes and soundtracks that do a lot to differentiate the different biomes you explore. Accessibility; parts of this game can be a little bit small, but it wins major points for me because it proves you can have a great cozy exploration game without platforming challenges you can fail at. The jumping system is amazing, I’d love to see it in more games. Even if you don’t have complete mastery of the controls, this game doesn’t allow you to fall, or hurt anyone. Steam deck: Again, some visuals are small, but I generally found the controls fairly intuitive and worked well on deck. The scree...

About This Game
Lost during a vacation gone wrong, help Mia gather what she needs to fix her ship and get home. Use your trusty salvaging laser to harvest resources and earn currency for buying upgrades and unlocking new activities. Meet new friends and help each other get yourselves unlost.

See how the peoples and places of this world change based on your actions. Create a hub for your friends to gather. Rediscover old characters in new locations. Earn your wealth through farming, mining, fishing, or exploration. Use that wealth to revitalize the local pet store and buy a cat tree for your spectral cat. Your time here makes a difference.FEATURES:
- Explore at your own pace. Take your time finding what's around every corner and behind every boulder.
- Craft the resources you gather into helpful upgrades for your equipment or exchange them for currency and buy items that will aid in your exploration.
- Find secrets and hints of a larger mystery. Discover why so many seem to end up in this world and why it's so hard to leave.
- Meet others who are lost and also need help finding their way. Teach a ghost how to be scary, help a single parent with his many bear children, and help a robot work through their artistic burnout.

User Reviews
Such a cute and positive game with lots fun little mini puzzles to solve and places to explore. Love the message of this game. It is on the shorter side but would definitely play it again!
I was [strike]completely obsessed about incoming state exams for the job I'm trying to access, potential failing or worse, passing and having to move and uproot my li[/strike] TL;DR: very stressed, frantic and unable to quiet my head down. I'd say I got this game at the EXACT right moment, lol. 10/10 made me tear up in relief and self-acceptance. It's not often that I buy a game with money, finish that game, and then feel the need to THANK the maker for it. Also: it's very fun, engaging and charming. Simple, but with enough to do, different mechanics, sweet ever-changing details and funny dialogue, quite a few secrets to find. It's clearly made with heart and purpose. If you're not looking for an unreasonable amount of depth - though I think taking a look at the store page will give you the right idea, and the game might still surprise you ;) - I recommend this as a very worthy little indie gem. Also: if energy/stamina or slower movement are frustrating you at the very beginning, jus...
