This game has been in my library for quite a while, so I can only assume I got it in a bundle. But, at $0.99, I would still buy it.

I love walking simulators after an extremely stressful day. No rushing, no fighting, no mind-bending puzzles. Just walking around and exploring like I used to do when I lived in the woods. The music and atmosphere were nice. The landscape was quite bare, though, and would be greatly improved with a bit more plant variety and coverage. I probably could've just walked around more if it did have more.

The game aspect of it is very straightforward. There's nothing to figure out as the narrator tells you what to do. The work is in fetching and doing what the narrator says. The mushrooms are inconsequential to the story except that it's how it starts. There's an achievement for getting them all, so if you're a hunter like me, it will take a bit more work. There's also another achievement for a hidden item that you will find if you explore far enough.

The only problem aside from the landscape being a bit sparse is that some of the mushrooms are a bit hidden. I was mostly done after 30 minutes, but I didn't want to quit without fully completing it. As there isn't a save option, I couldn't quit unless I wanted to do a second play-through. As I wanted to do it without a guide, I ended up backtracking, circling, and looking around in all directions and from various heights. The last 10 minutes was spent looking for 1 mushroom. It started getting frustrating, especially since I wanted to keep thinking to a minimum, but I stopped for a moment and just listened to the music and sounds before proceeding.

Overall, it was a nice exploration and really low-key. I recommend it for a chill experience.
