About Carto

I had to bookmark a guide in my browser. Not a fan of that. Not worth restarting even in Ch 1. Not enough checkpoints. QOL Questline Description! On screen/toggle or in a menu that describes the task at hand. If you set the game down for more than a day, you will forget what the current objective is. You may have to rearrange the map and navigate back to an npc to remind you. And other times they don't even repeat the obj. This can be difficult, as there is no retracing your steps. Remembering where items are or getting them to trigger is rough. The Main Mechanic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with the tiles is taxing. Let us place them down even if the borders arent a match. That way, we don't have to destroy everything and lose sight of the goal. Too many possibilities to keep track of. Mental log doesnt work. Let us back out/rollback to a valid …
Delightful short game! I love the map mechanics and the story <3
[h1]The world is the puzzle, but this time for real[/h1] Loved it, loved all the imaginative ways the game uses the map/puzzle thingy, the story while simple made me smile a lot. Such a good vibes and unique game.
This game is great, but it really chugs on my high end PC. What gives?
Simple, short, but enjoyable.
