Pilgrims is a short but incredibly charming adventure that’s all about experimenting and seeing what happens. The hand-drawn art and humor give it tons of personality, and replaying scenarios with different item combinations is surprisingly fun. It’s not very long, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Perfect for when you want something lighthearted and creative.

Pilgrims is a game that politely asks, “What if problem solving was just chaos, vibes, and questionable decisions?” and then fully commits to it. You play as a little traveler who wanders into a world populated by oddballs, weirdos, and at least one person who absolutely cannot be trusted with scissors. There is no “right” solution only solutions, and some of them feel like they were discovered by accident at 2 a.m. …

Short and Sweet: Pocketful of Stories Rating: 9/10 Pilgrims is a playful adventure game that you play via a deck of cards. Instead of complex inventories or high-stakes combat, you travel across a map, meet quirky characters, and use a card-based system to interact with the world. Most adventure games punish you for trying the "wrong" solution; Pilgrims rewards you for it. Want to see what happens if you give the …

8/10 Short, sweet, cute and well drawn little puzzle game more like a little story, It is fun if you just want to follow along a little story. The games of the developer studio often goes to sale and it is wort the time and money to play it.

The four main characters are Tramp, Granny, Bandit, and Devil. As you help them along the way, they can join your group and become character cards that you can use in different situations. The main gameplay is all about collecting things and figuring out how to use them. Instead of having a traditional inventory, everything…

It’s my house system about Pilgrims traveling from place to place, creating art, and helping the communities they visit. I think the game is rather unique and I’d love more eyes on it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Little adventure by the developer Amanita Design, famous for Samorost, Machinarium and Chuchel . This time out, with little vignettes and an inventory made of cards, each card being a person or an object. You still have pictograms instead of words to convey information. I thought it might have been their first game because it's obviously less ambitious and because of the hand-drawn retro style that reminds of eastern european cartoons of the 20th century, but no, it was made long after…

I had kind of been avoiding this one as it didn't really seem like "my thing" but honestly I have no idea why, this game was an absolute joy to play. This game is really cute, in that whacky Amanita Design kind of way (which at this point I find quite comforting), with all the little sounds effects and everything. Gameplay wise, It's quite satisfying. You go around, collecting items and trying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back with another Trench Crusade game, this one featured an ongoing hurricane of blood, obscuring ranged attacks and impeding charges (presumably all the mud). My Pilgrims fought against my buddy's Court, and somehow I steamrolled him. First time my pilgrims have accomplished anything, Hoorah!
