Follow the Meaning

With whimsical art style, some cooky characters and a mystery so mysterious I still don’t really know what’s going on, I had a really good time with Follow The Meaning. It’s short but sweet and is different from most point and click adventures that I’ve played. It would be the perfect addition to mystery fan’s library. I’m giving Follow The Meaning the Thumb Culture Gold Award.

Follow the Meaning is a delightful yet haunting adventure that showcases the strength of its art and atmosphere. While its brevity and simplicity might limit its appeal for some, it’s a must-play for fans of point-and-click games looking for a quick, engaging mystery. The game’s beautiful visuals, clever puzzles, and sinister undertones make it a memorable, if short-lived, experience. For those with an hour or two to spare and a love for surreal storytelling, Follow the Meaning is well worth the journey. With any luck, this is just the beginning for detective Paul Trilby and the strange world he inhabits.

If you’re looking for something straightforward or with a long, detailed story, this isn’t the game for you. But if you want a short, surreal sequence of puzzles in an adventure game format, Follow the Meaning should get you thinking. It aims to do something specific, and it does it well, even if it might not be to everyone’s tastes.
