Hollowreach Expedition

Hollowreach Expedition is a slow-burn adventure that trusts you to explore. You guide a lone wanderer through hand-drawn ruins, poking at environments, solving light physical puzzles, and piecing together what happened to a lost expedition before you.

There's almost no hand-holding, which I loved. The game drops you into a cave and lets curiosity pull you forward. Every area hides a note, a mechanism, or a view worth pausing on.

Controls are a simple tap-to-move with context buttons for interactions. It never felt fiddly, and the art does a lot of the storytelling. This is a game for evenings when you want calm, not adrenaline.
