Rootforge Explorer is a calm, low-poly 3D exploration game. You play as Pebble, a small coral-colored robot with cyan eyes and a teal backpack, on a quiet island with ten relic shards to find. Wander the beach and grassy hills, walk up the ramp to the old lookout tower, hike to the top of the island, and step into a small rocky cave. There are no enemies and nothing to rush. A clock in the corner shows how long your expedition has taken, if you want to know.
