About
Pilo and the Holobook is an exploration-based adventure game set in a colorful galaxy where you guide Pilo, an apprentice explorer, on a journey to document the universe’s wonders and solve mysteries. Using the Holobook, a powerful encyclopedia-like tool, Pilo collects stickers to record his discoveries and uncover the story behind a mysterious dark force known as the Tar.

Set in the mystical XOP-642 star system, players guide Pilo through vibrant, hand-painted worlds filled with strange creatures and ecosystems. Each planet is teeming with unique flora and fauna to discover. Instead of combat, Pilo uses observation and creativity to explore these planets, collecting valuable knowledge through the Holobook.

The Holobook serves as your main tool throughout the journey. Players use it to interact with the environment and creatures, turning their findings into collectible stickers that populate an ever-growing encyclopedia. These stickers record your progress, unlock new abilities, and help solve environmental puzzles.

An ominous, mysterious substance called the Tar has begun to spread across the galaxy, threatening the beautiful worlds Pilo explores. Along the journey, players will uncover the origins of the Tar and work to save the planets from its corruption. The Holobook can also temporarily repel the Tar, allowing deeper exploration and interaction with affected creatures.

Pilo and the Holobook emphasize creativity, kindness, and curiosity over combat. The game encourages peaceful problem-solving and compassion as Pilo helps the creatures affected by the Tar and works to restore balance to the galaxy.

Fun and pretty quick game, liked the artstyle!
This is pretty fun! The sticker mechanic is addicting, especially if you're like me and love collecting stickers irl. The art style is very cute, you can tell the team loves these characters and would make more games with them if given the chance. The story was wholesome - it won't blow your mind, but think charm was the goal over novelty, so it works just fine. I will say that I had to look up a couple puzzle solutions, especially when I took a break from playing and came back later. But that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the overall product. Also, I think it's a very reasonable price for this level of quality!
Was very cute, esp a big fan of the sticker styles. I did end up getting stumped with a couple of puzzles, but eventually we got there ^^
Um joguinho bem fofo, bem divertido e com uma história e mecânica interessantes! Pilo é um joguinho reltivamente simples, mas com bons puzzles e passa uma sensação de "quero descobrir tudo". Fazer 100% do jogo não é um tormento, é na verdade bem divertido, e aumenta ainda mais a experiência do game.
A really nice, charming, cozy game with a cute art style. If you enjoy exploring things at a leisurely pace, this is the game for you.
good game
Cute and colorful adventure game. Good for kids, or adults who want to chill out with something simple.
一款卡通萌系画风的探索环境寻物游戏,可以把扫描到的新物品作为贴纸进行DIY,顺便讲述了一个有关环境保护的故事。 游戏自带繁中(感觉像机翻),预计游玩时长3-4小时,推荐等史低价入手。游玩过程中不怎么考究眼力,倒是比较考验耐心。有一关“黏液”拼图的谜题比较抽象,其他的环境解谜都很简单,玩法主要是地图探索,中期还会解锁提示功能。 对追求全成就玩家的提醒: 需要格外留意沙漠中遇到的第一位NPC,必须控制距离在自动触发对话之前扫描到此人物的贴纸,不然贴纸全收集的成就只能在删档之后于新周目完全重新来过。 “Fast Fishing”40秒内扫鱼成就,1周目错过没关系可以2周目很快补上,[spoiler]黄鱼在前3次扫描时固定会闪现逃走,这3次都无法扫出贴纸,最后1次会闪现回飞船旁边不再移动,可以在40秒内完成成就。[/spoiler]
Quit the game after 4 hours. When starting back upp again the language had changed from English to French. According to the game support page there is no way to change it back to English... you have to play it all over again. I am requesting my money back. Otherwise a very qute game.
Very cute, short little collectathon game. I beat it in three hours, hundred percenting each area's stickers, so it really is a quick playthrough, but very cute and totally worth it for the price.
