    This looks super cute and I hope it comes to platforms other than the switch.

    This looks like exactly the kind of game I yearn for these days--low stakes exploration and puzzle solving, with emphasis on the exploration. I hope this ends up being as good as it looks from the preview.

    Anyone got suggestions for similar already-release games? A few I've played are Bee Simulator (not the best game, but scratches the same kinda itch), Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, Hob (also has combat elements but is probably my favorite from this list), and possibly Tchia (picked it up recently, haven't progressed far enough yet to know how much the world opens up later on). Of course there's also all the Myst-likes and stuff like The Witness and the Talos Principle games, but those tend to limit exploration and focus more on puzzle solving in order to progress.

      Spirit of the North is really good. It's separated into zones but rewards total exploration of each zone before moving on.
