About this game

A desperate letter summons detective Paul Trilby to a peculiar island town, divided by a wall and ruled by a Hospital. Regular citizens get admitted and then return without their memories. A sinister conspiracy is afoot. Can you get to the bottom of this mystery?

Follow the Meaning is a surreal, hand-drawn, point-and-click adventure inspired by classic titles like Samorost and the Rusty Lake series.

neat little point and click adventure! I wish it were longer but I really enjoyed the story. The puzzles were logical, not too frustrating. As someone else mentioned, I would have liked the option to go back and find the other cats without having to restart.

Definitely not what I expected but that's absolutely a good thing. It definitely has various elements that can be taken differently depending upon how you look at them. Very well done game. I'm going to play through again as I missed a couple things and I'm curious if and how it effects the outcome. I definitely recommend playing this through at least once and you will probably want to again.

This is a really fun little game. The people and the game world are really cute, the music is nice and the puzzles are a good level of difficulty. It would have been nice to be able to find the cats I missed after the game ended by going back in the world with full access.
