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?

Follow the Meaning is a surreal, hand-drawn, point-and-click adventure inspired by classic titles like Samorost and the Rusty Lake series.

Great puzzles! Higher difficulty than other simpler games makes it a fun challenge.

Great first outing. Some unique puzzles and fun environments. The art was delightful. Not too hard but you still had to think a bit. The story was a bit nebulous for me (no pun intended) and I solved a couple of puzzles without knowing how, but good fun all the same.

love this series of games/adventures but I appear to have come to a dead end. I cannot move on from the "underwater swimming scene with the trees" etc. watched the walkthrough link but still don't understand what I am supposed to do. Might have to delete it instead, but don't really want to. Discord is too complicated for me to follow. I will continue to follow the team's developments though as I am a great fan. x
