    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players describe the game as a heartfelt and wholesome experience, evoking feelings of relaxation and joy. Many appreciate its cute aesthetics and sweet interactions, making it a recommended choice for fans of wholesome games, despite some noting its brevity. However, a few critics express mixed feelings, suggesting that not all players may connect with its emotional intent.

    • “Chill and wholesome, I loved finding all the sights and the interactions are sweet.”
    • “Soothing, relaxing, heartwarming, you name it!”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a mixed media aesthetic that combines cartoon sprites with photographed backgrounds, creating a unique visual style that some players find charming. However, many reviewers note that the overall quality is mediocre and can be off-putting, with pixelated elements and odd character designs detracting from the experience. While the art style has its appeal, it may not be enough to attract a broader audience.

    • “I like the mixed media aesthetic.”
    • “Short but sweet fetch quest game with a cool art style (cartoon sprites on photographed backgrounds, like in the cover art).”
    • “Very charming and simple art style, with a mixture of realism and a pixelated environment.”
    • “This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost.”
    • “Graphic look odd though.”
    • “The graphics for this game made me say, 'wow, they really used a lot of PNGs, and pixelated them.'”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its soothing and relaxing qualities, creating a cozy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. While some players noted that the repetitive nature of the trails could lead to monotony, the ambient sounds and chill music were still enjoyable enough to encourage extended playtime. Many users expressed a desire for more content, such as additional trails and NPC interactions, to further enrich the musical experience.

    • “The sounds and music were amazing!”
    • “A cozy little escape with chill music and a relaxing vibe.”
    • “The music is relaxing and I would love to play again if there's an update with more trails and NPC requests.”
    • “The music is relaxing, and I would love to play again if there's an update with more trails and NPC requests.”
    • “It has soothing music and some decent writing about the pandemic.”
    • “I actually spent more than 2 hours just listening to the chill music and soothing ambient sounds of the trail as I was doing other stuff. It may be a bit boring and monotonous at times because you'll be walking the same trails over and over again, but it was still very enjoyable!”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for a relaxing fetch quest experience, set against a unique art style that combines cartoon sprites with photographed backgrounds. While some may find the lack of depth and challenge disappointing, others appreciate the game's peaceful atmosphere and the lighthearted commentary on the pandemic, making it a soothing escape rather than a complex narrative.

    • “The art style is so cool, and the story really helped me relax after a long day at work.”
    • “I definitely dig it. I can see why some reviews say it's boring; it doesn't have an in-depth, challenging, mysterious story like most point-and-click games do, but it's nice and relaxing without the rigidity of most point-and-clicks. You can free roam and still get all the achievements and reach the ending.”
    • “Enjoy a 'peaceful' walk in the woods during a day of the 2020 pandemic where everyone wears masks and complains about their lost stuff... so... welcome to a fetch quest while people talk about COVID-19.”
    • “I definitely dig it and I can see why some of the reviews say it's boring. It doesn't have an in-depth, challenging, mysterious story that most point-and-clicks do, but it's nice and relaxing without the rigidity of most point-and-clicks. You can free roam and still get all the achievements and to the ending.”
    • “There isn't much in terms of story, but I don't think it needs to be.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by simple point-and-click mechanics, making it an ideal choice for casual players looking to unwind. While the quest to find lost items and picture locations can feel repetitive and grindy, especially with limited trash appearances for achievements, the overall design offers a solid and accessible experience. The graphics, however, may come off as simplistic and pixelated, which some players found underwhelming.

    • “Game mechanics are all about simple yet solid point-and-click interactions, and it is a great game design a free casual game can offer.”
    • “It's a little weird that every NPC has lost something along the trail and is looking for it, but it's a game, and games sometimes sacrifice realism for gameplay functionality.”
    • “The other point is to find all 14 picture locations and that's about it. The graphics for this game made me say, 'wow, they really used a lot of PNGs and pixelated them.' The recycle achievements are too grindy because the trash barely appears, and getting 50 trash can easily make the gameplay time go from 26 minutes to 1.4 hours.”
    • “The gameplay is simple, achievements are easy to get, and it’s the perfect game for unwinding — especially during lockdown times when we’re all doing our part to stay safe and indoors.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some achievements can be completed relatively quickly, others, like collecting litter and recycling trash, require significant time investment due to the low spawn rates of necessary items. This can lead to a frustratingly extended gameplay time, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

    • “The last three achievements are a little grindy to get 20, 35, and 50 litter, which randomly spawns, but it only took an hour and a half to 100%.”
    • “The recycle achievements are too grindy because the trash barely appears, and getting 50 trash can easily make the gameplay time go from 26 minutes to 1.4 hours.”
    • “Finding all 14 picture locations is about it, but the graphics made me say, 'wow, they really used a lot of PNGs and pixelated them.'”
