How it feels

A gentle narrated walk through Australian bush with vibrant watercolors, paced by a sleepy wombat's search for home after a bushfire.

What players say

A very short point-and-click adventure about a wombat in the Australian bush, praised for its watercolor art and relaxing music. Players finish it in 20 minutes to two hours, and many say it is best bought on sale due to the length. Controls are widely described as clunky.
