About this game

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.

This is a really fun little game. The people and the game world are really cute, the music is nice and the puzzles are a good level of difficulty. It would have been nice to be able to find the cats I missed after the game ended by going back in the world with full access.

This game offers an enjoyable experience, characterized by its charming and imaginative elements, coupled with a trippy narrative. While the gameplay duration is somewhat brief, with completion typically achieved in under an hour, the inclusion of a side quest involving feline discovery adds a delightful dimension to the overall experience.

It was good until I got to the woods and the 3 light pressing puzzles, there is a glitch on the 2nd one where I cannot press the button at all so I can't continue.
