If you have a crystal ball you can buy this game. Otherwise will depend on YouTube walkthrough videos. The demo was amazing, which made me buy it. But the rest is silly, zero clue puzzles. Walk non sense into a forest to never find your way. Great idea, amazing graphics, horrible execution.

Adorable graphics and relaxing vibes. Puzzles not overly challenging, but a neat concept and well-executed with lots of variety. Owl is best owl

Fun little puzzle game that probably should have focused more on the overarching map mechanic and better UX than the smaller scale fetch and talk to the right person kind of puzzles.

The game looks interesting, and the graphics are beautiful. But the controls were confusing for me. You can only use the keyboard and the shortcuts are not common, which I found very frustrating to use. There are no options also to change the keyboard shortcuts.

[b]Recommended for:[/b] If you're a fan of puzzle games with a wholesome story then Carto is a nice game to try out. The puzzles are relatively easy, so the game isn’t very long. Also there are no time-based puzzles or anything like that, so nothing stressful. The whole game is designed to create a relaxing atmosphere. The characters are a bit generic and don't have much depth, but they’re not bad in any way. Carto is also very suitable for young children as there is zero violence or swearing.
[b]My experience:[/b] I had a nice time playing Carto. I liked the unique puzzle gameplay, although it was a bit easy for me as an experienced puzzle gamer. I do think the gameplay has potential for more difficult puzzles. I also liked the colorful graphics and art style, it suits the story very well.
[b]Technical:[/b] I had no technical issues while playing. [i](Win10,7800X3D,RX7800XT)[/i]
