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.

o jogo é mt bom, mas alguns itens sao dificeis de achar
I really enjoyed this game. It was cute and simple but was really enjoyable to play. It is a complete story with a feel good ending. The characters were cute and I LOVED the art style. If you are wanting to take a break from more strategy heavy games, this is a great option. I think this would also be a good game for kids who are just getting into gaming.
It´s adorable and very relaxing game where you turn everything into stickers for your holobook. I recommend buying the game at a discount because it takes approximately 3-4 hours to complete. It's a very visually beautiful game and I really enjoyed playing it.
Very fun and short game that scratches the collector itch! The environments felt very unique and it was incredibly fun to explore!
the art is what's important here. there's not much story and the game is very short, but the art is awesome. i feel you could make a pretty interesting game out of this sticker concept, but there was only one mechanic here and a couple very simple puzzles. i paid 2,50 or so when on sale and i feel it's a perfect price.
A lighthearted little title where i spent 6h30 leisurely playing a charming lil fox assistant collecting cute stickers, helping a science geezer clear out "tar" to fix the planetary system. An easy 100% with a sprinkle of challenge that requires some backtracking. My top tip: scan everything and move on, the remaining stickers will show up as the plot advances. Don't expect deep lore or witty dialogue. Instead, expect a short ride, a cozy sticker-collectathon, gorgeous art, whimsical vibes & adorable character designs.
- short but really well made game, loved the art and the concept, would love to play more games like this
우주를 돌아다니면서 사진 찎어서 백과사전 만드는 게임입니다 재미있습니다 우주의 질서를 느껴지는 게임입니다
A nice short cozy game, it is a collectathon type game, where you go around collecting stickers to fill up the holobook, or at least as much as possible cuz you do not need 100% completion to finish the game, but you do need that for achievements. The art is beautiful, soundtrack is relaxing, main character is cute, the story is one of those pro-environment/ anti-pollution type ones, you know, something like Avatar or The Lorax, and in the case of this game the threat to the planets it’s called Tar. As for the gameplay; everything revolves around collecting stickers. You do this by standing still and pressing the A button (controller) and spinning around. Ok, it is not that random, you can aim at objects to scan them, this will give you a sticker if you didn’t scan the object before. That is basically it, go around, point at objects (everything from building ruins, to plants, animals and even people) and scan them. You get one sticker per object and you cannot scan an object multiple times for duplicate stickers. Certain interactions like introducing a code to open a door, you also do it by arranging stickers, not by interacting with the code console in the level. Those interactions are rare, but just keep in mind, that everything revolves around stickers. The puzzles are simple, once you figure them out. After all the game uses only the A button, the others just open menus. So, the only things you can do is move and scan. Let me take what I thought the most complicated puzzle. In the desert you get to scan map portions marked with X, at that X you scan another object which gives you a compass sticker, you use the compass to find the other clues and eventually find an item to unlock a door. What I mean with this, is that completing the puzzles is easy, figuring them out is the harder part. But as simple as the game is, it could’ve used some QoL improvements, the most important being a sprint button, while most areas are small indeed, I could’ve used one especially in the desert zone. Another is something more petty, the book size, some areas give 50+ stickers, so if you do not organize them right it makes a cluster f in the only 2 pages you can use. Another is the fact that after you explore a planet and return to the shuttle, this shuttle returns you home automatically, this is annoying a bit if you just wana explore another planet right away. Additional notes: starting with the stickers; you can rotate and scale certain stickers, not all, there are special ones which you can only rotate. You get to upgrade the holobook during the story, so if at first you see blocked areas, don’t worry, they will open up as you advance. The last chapter is a let-down, it’s just a big cutscene with barely any gameplay. The game auto-saves every time you enter/exit a zone. Regarding achievements, do not worry about finishing the game, you can get 100% afterwards because if you resume after finishing, it puts you back before interacting with the NPC which triggers the end chapter. So in brief, it might be too short and lacking in additional content (game is very linear, I think only 1 side content is present and very few puzzles) to justify 12 bucks, but I do rec it during a sale.
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]
