Old Man's Journey is a puzzle adventure in which an elderly man sets out on a trip after receiving a letter. As he travels through hand-painted landscapes of hills, villages and coastlines, you help him by reshaping the scenery, pulling and pushing hills so that the layers line up and create a path for him to walk. Along the way, memories from his past reveal the story of his life.
It is a single-player game that takes a couple of hours to complete, with a slow, gentle pace and no fail states. There is no spoken dialogue; the story is told through pictures. Old Man's Journey suits players who want a short, reflective game with a lovely art style.
