Lo he jugado de tirón, un día de julio del 2026, en menos de dos horas. Y a continuación, una segunda vez, en apenas quince minutos, porque para conseguir todos los logros es inevitable repetir volver a jugarlo, dado que hay dos finales distintos y un logro por alcanzar cada uno de ellos. Mi intención era dedicarle cosa de un cuarto de hora al día durante varios días seguidos, para relajarme a ratos de otro par de juegos más intensos y largos que tengo empezados desde hace tiempo. Pero me ha enganchado y no he parado hasta completarlo. La historia es amena e intrigante a la vez, los gráficos me han resultado muy atractivos, y la música, aunque en algún punto un poco repetitiva, encaja perfectamente, aumentando el interés por avanzar. Los puzzles no son complicados, pero sí interesantes. Casi todos los logros se consiguen encontrando elementos ocultos, es decir, que el juego funciona a la vez como aventura point&click y como juego de objetos ocultos. El último logro, añadido en una actualización del 2025, no habría sido capaz de conseguirlo sin recurrir a un par de guías, está muy, muy escondido. En definitiva, creo que es muy recomandable.

Jogo muito legal, recomendo.
Follow the Meaning è un breve casual game / avventura grafica indie in grado di far passare un’oretta (ma anche meno) in tranquillità. Musiche rilassanti, puzzle semplici ma stimolanti e una storia curiosa con un finale imprevedibile. Nel gioco vestirete i panni dell’investigatore Paul, chiamato a indagare su ciò che accade in uno strano ospedale psichiatrico. Il titolo presenta un’interfaccia intuitiva, mentre la trama avanza attraverso cutscene che mostrano cosa accade nell’ospedale dal punto di vista di uno dei dottori. L’atmosfera è surreale e leggera e la grafica dai colori pastello ricorda quei disegni fatti sui quaderni alle superiori durante le giornate di primavera. Un gioco semplice ma godibile. Forse troppo breve per chi cerca una vera avventura punta e clicca impegnativa, ma perfetto per una serata rilassata.
Short point and click game, fun storyline, the achievement is cute (finding cats etc)!!!!!
Pretty good point and click game. I would recommend.
有点儿锈湖的影子 解谜需要开脑洞 基本逻辑都在 好评 过程流畅 线索相对集中 不会出现卡关的情况 唯一美中不足的是 流程稍微有点点短啊 建议打折时入手
