$6.99Pilgrims Every Wrong Answer Is a Story
Pilgrims is a short, hand-drawn adventure where your inventory is a deck of cards: people you befriend and odd items you pick up. Wander a small storybook land, help a granny, a bandit, a king and a dragon in your own way, and laugh at what happens when the wrong card turns out to be right.

A deck of friends and found objects
Everything you collect becomes a card, and you play those cards on the world to see what happens. You drag the tramp, the granny or the cooked fish onto whoever needs help, and the game answers with a small animation and a gibberish chatter you somehow understand.
There is rarely one correct answer.
Cozy wandering with a folk-tale grin
The land is small and calm: woods, a river, a cottage, a cave with a bear that guards a gem. You roam as you please, with no clock and no punishment for a bad guess. The drawings are crooked and cute in a storybook way, full of small animations, with music built from live instruments and soft electronics.
It is short, about an hour or two for one trip down the river, and made to be replayed. The mood stays light and relaxed throughout, which makes it easy to finish in one evening and pleasant to revisit for the solutions you missed.
Good to know before you wander?
How do you actually play it?
You move between a few hand-drawn places and drag cards for characters and items onto people and objects. Pictures and gestures show what everyone wants, so there is no reading or dialogue to follow. If a card does not help, nothing bad happens. You just try another one.
Is it difficult or stressful?
No. There are no time limits, no combat and no fail state worth fearing. Some combinations take a little trial and error, but a wrong try usually gives a funny animation instead of a setback. It suits an evening when you want something gentle and curious.
