A fox walks you through a little town. Then you find your own way back. Wayfound is a calm puzzle game about the oldest skill you own: knowing where you are. Follow the fox through pastel streets, past bakeries and clock towers, up a quiet elevator. Notice things. Then walk the route yourself — no minimap, no GPS arrow, just you and what you remember. THERE'S NO CLOCK, AND NO WRONG WAY TO WANDER • No timers, no fail states, no lives. Wrong turns are part of wandering — the fox always finds you. • A rescue ladder, not a game over: hints arrive as gentle nudges, only when you want them. • Little errands: deliver a parcel, find the bakery, learn the streets by needing them. • At corners, the fox asks: which way now? Guess, and feel the route settle into your feet. • Walks grow with you: first the fox leads, then you study a map and walk alone, then it's just you and a destination. • The town grows because you walked it — a flour cart by the bakery, a fishing net by the pier — small things appear when you finish an errand, and they stay. • Point home: a quiet compass test at the end of each walk. Watch yourself get better. • A new town for every chapter — every street is new to you, so each walk is real navigation. WHY WALKS WORK Wayfound is inspired by research on spatial memory — how we build inner maps from landmarks, routes, and wrong turns, and how turn-by-turn navigation quietly erodes that skill. It's not a brain-training claim. It's just a nice walk. • Free, no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device. • Works entirely offline. • English, 简体中文, 日本語.

Cards don't line up politely here. They're stacked in layers — the way mahjong tiles are stacked, except these are playing cards, and one of the maps is on fire. Which means there are two games sitting on top of each other: getting a card out of the pile, and knowing what to do with it once you have it. HOW IT WORKS · The map is a layered formation. Anything underneath is locked until you clear what's covering it, so every card you take decides what you're allowed to take next. That half is solitaire. · Play up to five of the cards you've taken as a poker hand. A pair is fine. A Flush is better. A Straight Flush means you planned ahead — or got lucky and will claim you planned ahead. That half is poker. · Beat the stage's target score, spend what you earned in the Shop, and do it again. And again. Until the target has grown a couple of digits and you're no longer certain which of your trinkets is doing the heavy lifting. WHAT'S IN IT · Every map is built around exactly one idea. Ice Lake freezes cards. Furnace sets them alight. Dark Pool turns the lights off and invites you to feel your way out. · Clear a map and its Twist unlocks: the same map, in a considerably worse mood. · Trinkets. Some add points. Some quietly rewrite a rule you'd assumed was permanent. The legendary ones turn up rarely enough that finding the right one feels like the run has decided to help you, just this once. · A Shop between stages, because a roguelite without a shop is just a difficult puzzle. · A tutorial that leaves quickly and waits in Settings in case you ever want it back. WHAT'S NOT IN IT · Ads. · In-app purchases. · A season pass, a battle pass, or a little bar that refills while you sleep. · An internet connection. This app has never phoned home and wouldn't know who to call. Buy it once and own all of it — every map, every trinket, every Twist. There is nothing else to sell you, and we are not going to think of anything. One deck, thirteen languages. Good luck.
