Missing Translation
Lost in a weird city in the middle of the desert and surrounded by strange creatures that keep staring at you. This is a game about exploring the unknown and solving puzzles... lots of them! Don't be fooled by the looks, this isn't a point & click adventure.

“Nice small puzzle game. Very fun! And memories”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“[spoiler] Charming puzzle game with seemingly challenging obstacles, worth the try if you're into a casual atmosphere. There's 3 tiers of puzzles, each with 25 in them. Nothing super challenging, just tedious. [/spoiler]”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“A charming and mysterious (in a fun way) little puzzler. Simple and subtle aesthetic with some neat worldbuilding if you look for it. Puzzle fans should check it out though don't expect too crazy of a challenge, more like a cozy little think.”
