Driftwood Trail

Driftwood Trail is a gentle exploration adventure where you walk a weird, beautiful coast, solving small environmental puzzles and piecing together what happened to the place. The pace is slow in the best way.

The art is all hand-drawn and the sound design is lovely, with wind and water doing most of the emotional heavy lifting. Puzzles are logical and never resort to obscure moon-logic, so I rarely needed to look anything up.

It's short, maybe four hours, and it knows it. There's no padding, which makes the whole thing feel deliberate rather than stretched.

What we liked

• Beautiful hand-drawn world
