Adventure game focused on exploration where you do NOT save the world and the world does NOT need saving.

The point is to explore to your heart's content and uncover mysteries and secrets (or don't, it's up to you, really).

I love the game also, but I have no clue what else to do to finish! Is there a guide/walkthrough I can make use of? I have 5 pebbles left, and am missing two items.

I've completed all quests except coin collector because of the 1st ending.

Hello there! I am glad you liked the game! Currently there is no walkthrough for the game, but I am thinking of creating a guide for the pebles at least.

I love the game but I am so stuck getting through the desert

Hello there! Did you find the compass to help guide you over there? That item is vital so you don't get lost :

Yes, I do have the compass. When I follow it it leads me to the desert with those two big circles are. I don't know what to do next

The compass had me confused at first too. You're actually following it backwards. Either the dev was trying to leave a hint that ended up too obvious, or tried to stylize the compass and accidentally made it a bit misleading.

The indicators on the compass look like they're arrows pointing toward the center, and you're following the "arrows" I assume? That's certainly what I thought and did. You actually want to ignore that arrow shape, and follow the compass in the direction that would be obvious without the "arrows" pointing opposite.

What you've found is the "secondary" use of the compass that you'll need later.

Well, this game isn't what I expected it to be....

...that aside, it's really really good! Gives me early Pokémon games vibes. Equal times cute and creepy. Very enjoyable little game that has multiple endings and a few surprising plot twists. It's challenging enough to make your brains work but easy enough to find a satisfying solution. 

...Although I have to admit I myself am stuck because I cannot find five more pebbles. 

I wish it was square and had an option to have a greenish color palette to kick in my Gameboy nostalgia even more!

My favorite kind of game so I'm waiting for the release
