What caught our attention

The playful description in the reply and the stark setting on the store page make an unusual pair. Rather than giving away the discoveries, the Steam description stresses that players are left to find their own way. That makes Whelm an option for readers who enjoy exploration driven by curiosity.

Where to start

The official Steam page lists the game as in Early Access. Listed platform: Windows.
