this game is even better than i expected it to be. the graphics pulled me in and i stayed for the puzzles and the story. the puzzles make you think, but are very doable at the same time. the story is paced well and gets you caring about the characters. the music and sound effects match the vibe perfectly. i never had my sound off while playing this game. this game is fricken adorable. i'm not sure if it's worth the full price, but i bought it on sale and i definitely recommend

Carto is a very cute puzzle game where you explore the world as Carto, trying to find your grandma you got separated from. Along the way you meet quirky characters and use your mapping abilities to rotate and put together map pieces on a separate screen to open paths or solve puzzles. The presentation is cute with an artstyle that's very nice on the eyes, and the music is soothing. It's only a few hours long as well and never gets too difficult. Overall Carto does a good job at guiding the player to figure out what the puzzle solutions are and how map pieces fit together without explicitly spelling out the solution. The only area I found annoying was the second-to-last area, but other than that the puzzles were fairly easy and intuitive. The only problem I have with the game is that it took me several months to finish even though it's just four hours, mostly because it's very boring, I hate to say. There isn't much challenge and something about the game made it hard for me to play without getting incredibly bored after just twenty minutes. For four hours or less, though, that's barely tolerable and it's still a good time if only because it's a cozy puzzler with a cute artstyle and a heartwarming story, but I would wait for a sale.

Knew I would love this game and I don't know why it took me so long to grab it. Such a lovely time with more surprises than you'd expect. They really make the most of the gameplay mechanics, and the story is endearing the entire time. A great sprinkling of fantasy and whimsy as well.
