Thank you for playing Follow the meaning, we fixed some bugs in this new version!
A desperate letter summons detective Paul Trilby to a peculiar island town, divided by a wall and ruled by a Hospital. Regular citizens get admitted and then return without their memories. A sinister conspiracy is afoot. Can you get to the bottom of this mystery?
Use wit, curiosity and lateral thinking to puzzle your way towards a solution, helped by the local citizens you meet along the way. Remember that there is always a grain of truth in the local gossip.
Follow the Meaning is a surreal, hand-drawn, point-and-click adventure inspired by classic titles like Samorost and the Rusty Lake series.
Features

■ Whimsical worldbuilding with a sinister undertone
■ Atmospheric soundtrack by Victor Butzelaar
■ A twisted mystery that awaits your diligent inspection

For $3.50 its not bad, 5 stars because it was a very cool experience. There was a hat puzzle that made zero sense and the game is like 1 hour long but it was fun. The weird storyline adds a lot to it, the odd puzzles were right there with it. The map puzzle did feel broken but I think overall it was done well and it felt like a lot of time went into making it something out of the ordinary. Its worth playing if you like point and click adventure games.

This is a GREAT GAME! Excellent artwork, excellent puzzles, excellent story, I also loved the sound effects and ambience. I truly enjoyed this game! I finished it in one sitting...maybe an hour?...with numerous distractions, lol... but, the story and gameplay, for me, was engaging and challenging enough, thoughtful puzzle concepts, you CAN find all the answers if you are observant enough. The story kept me playing and I LOVED the abduction while 'waiting' for the loading screen! BRAVO!

Definitely not what I expected but that's absolutely a good thing. It definitely has various elements that can be taken differently depending upon how you look at them. Very well done game. I'm going to play through again as I missed a couple things and I'm curious if and how it effects the outcome. I definitely recommend playing this through at least once and you will probably want to again.
