However, Carto is a completely different case: it has the exact level of depth and difficulty I was looking for with an unusual game mechanic - and on top of that a genuinely heartwarming storyline.
Audio

24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Accompanied by a soothing soundtrack that uses melodic instruments and environmental sounds to evoke tranquility, the game fosters an atmosphere of calm exploration.
