The only enjoyment I got from this game was when the word RAFT showed up scrambled as FART.

It's an explosion at the asset factory, and everyone's invited!

These are not good DOGOS.

Imagine a traditional turn-based dungeon crawler that had no actual dungeon, one hero with one attack, no story, and lacked basic ease of use functions like the ability to compare the equipment you find to what you currently have equipped. Now stop imagining and welcome to the world of The Adventurer and His Backpack.

Clicker games are kind of misnomer because ever since the genre sprung into existence on the heels of Cookie Clicker almost half a decade ago the actual clicking has rarely had a role in the game outside of the first few minutes. Whether the business managers of Adventure Capitalist or the automatic attacks of the heroes in Clicker Heroes or the auto-firing guns of Time Clickers, the act of clicking becomes all but unneccessary as the focus shifts to higher level strategic elements like budgeting upgrades, managing skill cooldowns, and the eventual meta progression of resetting your progress to earn even more boosts.

Forget Me Not seems to take the complete opposite direction and is instead entirely about endless clicking with nothing in the way of automation or passive advancement. You can buy animal helpers at a very slow rate (they're expensive and quest payouts come few and far between) but all they do is speed up timers or multiply the exerience your trees gain, it's still on you to click-click-click every step of the way as you wait for your watering can to fill up, click and hold on trees to water them, then click on each and every fruit. It demands your continuous active attention but doesn't really give you enough depth or breadth to make it engaging even if you play it while entertaining yourself with a podcast or TV show to make up for it.

It's a shame because the game's setting and artwork are nice and the slow drip-feed of story moments are interesting when they arrive. Despite the macabre concept (using alchemy to grow human organs on trees and selling them to anyone willing to pay for them) it walks the spooky-cute line well with plots ranging from a little girl killing her pet cat just so she can bring it back to life with a magic organ to a growing family of stoats eating mincemeat made from unripe organs to a local farmer being driven out of his livelihood as a side effect of you buying up the local fauna to help in your greenhouse. You just have to spend hours clicking the same trees and fruits over and over and over again to get to them.

The LIDAR scanning mechanic is gorgeous and unique but they fail to actually do anything interesting with it. What little plot there is feels like it was generated by a markov chain of indie gaming storytelling cliches. I've loved Introversion ever since the days of Uplink but their attempt at rubbing elbows with the likes of modern indie games like Gone Home sadly falls short.

It's functional but completely uninteresting aside from the way that the game's graphics resemble trapper keep artwork.

An endless runner so poorly made that within the first four levels I got stuck in level geometry and had to restart multiple times.
