An unusual mix of adventure and idle game. In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it's your task to wait for the awakening of your king... for 400 days. Play as a lonely Shade, the last servant of a king who once ruled an underground kingdom. The king's powers have faded and he falls asleep for 400 days to regain his might. It is your duty to stay in the earthen palace until he awakens. As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400 days - even when you stop playing and exit the game. It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty of time. Choose your playing style Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the Shade will be even more lonely without you. Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry. Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied. Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness... Features • Slow exploration of a vast, hand-drawn cave. • Atmospheric Dungeon Synth soundtrack. • Various endings. • Lots of well hidden secrets. • Time-based puzzles. • A lonely but cute protagonist.

GeoCrossing turns every walk into a real-world discovery game. Scattered across the planet is an invisible grid of special points we call XINGs — geographic crossings waiting to be found. Open the app, see the nearest XINGs on a live map, walk toward one, and when you arrive it counts as found. WHY PLAY • A reason to go outside every single day. • See parts of your town you would never walk to otherwise. • Perfect for dog walks, runs, commutes, weekends, and travel. • Compete with explorers around the world on the leaderboard. HOW IT WORKS • Live map shows XINGs nearby with status (active, soon, found). • Walk into the circle around a XING to mark it found. • Each visit is logged with time, distance, and an optional note. • Sync across iPhone, iPad, and the web. FEATURES • Clean dark map with offline-friendly tiles. • QR sign-in for the web. • No account required to start. • Free to play, no ads. • Privacy-first: your location is used only to compute nearby XINGs. Head outside. The next street you haven't walked hides a XING you haven't found. Terms of Use: https://geo-crossing.com/terms-of-service.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: geo at Free against The Longing Mobile's $4.99. geo also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). The Longing Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
