About Step Away
Hey there!Ever find yourself stuck in front of your PC with zero motivation to do the things life actually expects from you? Then this little app we made might be just what you need.Type in what you're about to do, place your cursor in the square, and watch the little wanderer set off. While you’re away doing something useful, like going for a walk, cleaning up, or grocery shopping, he’ll quietly gather steps in the background. And when you come back, he might even have earned a new hat for his efforts.
Spending Time Off-Screen
We know it’s not always easy to get away from screen and deal with life stuff. This app gives you a gentle push in the right direction and a small reward for being off-screen.Minimalist Design
This is a super minimal experience. No pressure, no complexity, no real gameplay. Just peaceful vibes and a little guy walking while you’re AFK.Rewarding Hats
Rack up steps to unlock a handful of charming hats. Equip whatever suits your style.If you enjoy this, please consider picking up the Supporter Pack DLC. It helps us keep making creative content like this. And if you’ve got any feedback, we’d love to hear from you on our Discord :)Julian & BastiDLC & expansions

Relaxing. Wholesome. Peaceful. Step Away is one of those little apps that quietly does exactly what it promises. I've now crossed **500,000 steps** and unlocked every hat in the game, and the experience has been just as calming from start to finish. You simply leave your cursor inside the app before stepping away from your PC, and your little character keeps walking while you're away, rewarding you with hats and cosmetics as you reach new milestones. The pixel art is cozy, the gentle footsteps create a peaceful atmosphere, and you can mute the audio if you prefer complete silence. It's simple, lightweight, and never tries to demand your attention. What I like most is the idea behind it. Instead of encouraging you to spend more time at your PC, it rewards you for stepping away and taking a break. It's a small concept, but one that genuinely promotes a healthier habit. If you're looking for a peaceful little companion that encourages you to get away from your desk once in a while, Step Away is an easy recommendation, especially since it's free.2 found this helpful
the name says it all in this one. the game you play when you "step away"! when you have to go to an appointment, when you have to sleep, or even while your away at work... you can still be gaming as the wanderer collects steps while your gone. once you move the game ends so, let this one run when you have other stuff to do! boom! free cheevos!2 found this helpful

Simple, and works perfectly.1 found this helpful
Really loved the concept.1 found this helpful
This game is free, and excellent. If you need to make yourself step away from your computer, you could do a lot worse than "Step Away".
