Was ready to love this one, the first chapter sets up a ton of interesting possibilities with the map-swapping mechanic, but it got more confusing (not difficult) as the game went on.

Hey, that's pretty good! A well-designed adventure puzzler with flawless execution. It doesn't ever get hugely challenging, but stays interesting by constantly adding new twists to the main mechanic. It's thematically simple as well, but doesn't stray too far into kitsch territory, mainly because everything has a purpose - you're not just taking in the sights of forests and deserts and mountains, you interact with them. And the game knows exactly where and when to end - this is some masterful control of pacing. You never feel bored or overloaded, and after finishing, it just feels complete - as always, I hoped for a thematic conclusion, but in such a case it's not necessary. Cute and well-rounded.

it's alright. mostly it's just really cute.

The gaming equivalent to chicken noodle soup. Wehhhh >_<

Carto is a cute puzzle game that shows us why we need more cozy and comfortable games.

Game stopping bug partway into it. Tried looking for solutions online and none works, so I have a hard time giving it a good rating.
