A Short Hike meets Castle in the Sky in this “wholesome” exploration game going gangbusters on Kickstarter
The words “wholesome” and “indie” are paired more often than peanut butter and jelly, but this adorable exploration game that’s blowing up on Kickstarter (opens in new tab) seems to warrant that description perhaps more than any other game I’ve seen. Its main inspirations are the 1986 Studio Ghibli animated movie Castle in the Sky, the 2017 indie game A Short Hike, and Thatgamecompany’s classic 2012 title Journey, and honestly, it looks cuter than all of those combined.
