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.

Roll, score, and decide how far you’re willing to push your luck—then spend your winnings on Charms and upgrades that transform your dice, strengthen your strategy, and rewrite the rules. Every run becomes a new engine to build, exploit, and inevitably push a little too far. **What’s in the game?** • Endless challenges that grow tougher and demand new strategies • Over 150 upgrades to discover and combine into powerful builds • Rewards, unlocks, achievements, Dice Bags, and challenges to master • Multiplayer draft mode! **Roll, Set, or Bank** Roll and select scoring combos carefully. Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
