On a laptop: arrows or WASD to walk · Space to dig · 0 puts the paces back to 0 · hold Z for the spyglass

A clue, a compass and an island. Work out where the clue means, walk there, and the chest you find holds the next clue.

How to play ▾

The little round dial is your compass. The red end of its needle always points north. Whatever is at the top, under the red notch, is the way you are facing. The little blocks are the ways in between: the block between S and W is south-west. Face a way dead on and it lights up.

Nothing shows you where you are. There is no map and no dot. You work it out from what you can see.

Three chests have a tool in them, and each tool lets you read a new kind of clue. A greyed-out button is a tool you have not found yet.

👣 counts your steps. Tap it and it goes back to 0. Things with a door have a red mat: stand on it, face the way the clue says, tap 👣 and walk. On a mat, the count says whose door you are at.

DIG lights up when you are standing on a cross of pebbles. You cannot see the ground at your own feet, so watch the button. Dig anywhere else and you get a hole.

Hold 🔭 and everything is four times bigger. The line down the middle is exactly the way you are facing.

SAVE keeps your game on this device under your name, and after that it saves itself at every chest. LOAD carries on from the last chest you opened.
