Read full description

Find your way home, one remembered step at a time. Hidden Path: Journey Home is a relaxing offline puzzle game about exploration, memory, and finding a safe route through a hidden map. Move across a grid, discover what lies beneath each tile, and learn from every attempt. Rocks and fallen logs stand between you and home, so observe carefully and plan your next move. EXPLORE, REMEMBER, AND FIND YOUR ROUTE Tap an adjacent tile or swipe up, down, left, or right to move one step. Safe tiles reveal your progress as you explore. Step onto an obstacle and you return to the starting point, ready to try another route with what you have learned. Early levels let you keep your footprints and discovered obstacles in view. As the journey continues, footprints fade and obstacles become hidden again, making memory and careful navigation increasingly important. Later puzzles span connected areas, giving you more ground to explore. A JOURNEY THROUGH SIX CHAPTERS Play through 50 handcrafted mainline levels with a gradual difficulty curve. Start in peaceful meadows, continue through changing forest landscapes, and follow the lights that guide you home. A sixth chapter contains 10 additional Premium puzzles. The first 40 mainline levels are available without purchasing Premium. Mainline Levels 41-50 and the 10 extra Premium levels require the optional Premium upgrade. COLLECT LITTLE PIECES OF THE JOURNEY Discover 40 collectible keepsakes across the mainline and Premium levels. From a worn compass to a treasured photograph, each item has its own description in the Collections catalog. Completing the full collection requires Premium. KEEP EXPLORING WITH INFINITE CHALLENGES After completing Level 50, continue into randomly generated puzzles. Each new board changes the starting point, home, and obstacles, bringing another route to discover. Infinite challenges are reached through the Premium-unlocked mainline. A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT Use a hint to reveal one hidden obstacle in your current area. Free hint allowances vary by level, and optional rewarded video ads let you replenish them when available. Premium includes unlimited hints and removes ads. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE There is no countdown to finish a level. Take a short puzzle break or settle into a longer session of thoughtful exploration. Simple controls and illustrated woodland scenes keep the journey easy to follow. OFFLINE GAMEPLAY AND LOCAL PROGRESS Play the core puzzles offline, with no account or registration required. Your level progress and collectible discoveries are saved on your device. An internet connection is needed for store purchases, restoring purchases, and optional rewarded ads. Progress is stored locally rather than synced through a game account. ONE OPTIONAL PREMIUM PURCHASE Premium is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase with no subscription. It unlocks: - Mainline Levels 41-50. - 10 additional Premium puzzle levels. - Access to infinite challenges after completing Level 50. - The levels needed to complete all 40 collectibles. - Unlimited hints and an ad-free experience.
