Honest opinion, I was disappointed in both how short the game was and how little content there was. There are only four worlds that were basically empty of all life and the gameplay consisted on walking around and holding down a button. The entire game can be finished in two hours which makes it feel like "what was even the point of this". If you're going to go out of your way to make a game then at least add …

This is a very wholesome exploration game as you play as Pilo, a fennec fox apprentice explorer travelling with his beloved Professor. They decide to explore a system called XOP-642 which consists of 4 major planets. These planets have completely different environments from desert, marsh, water and a broken planet with a substance like tar. The Professor creates a Holobook to get Pilo working. He is usually …

Just finished this game, and I loved it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing experience with some light puzzle challenges. The art is absolutely beautiful. Simply walking around and taking in the environment was a really enjoyable experience. From a gameplay perspective, I really liked the puzzles. They’re not overly complicated, but they still require you to pay attention and remember what …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a cute casual puzzle game about collecting stickers! Scan items in the world to make stickers and add them to your sticker book. One achievement might atm be missable. Completion takes around 4 hours. Approximate amount of time to 100%: Around 4 hours Estimated achievement difficulty: 1/10 Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 Is there a good guide available: Not really, but I made a guide with all the stickers (without locations)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pilo is a tough one to decide to recommend or not. I found it pleasant enough and would have finished it in one sitting if I hadn't been stuck. However, it seriously lacked challenge and gameplay variety. Scanning around with your beam of light for objects/creatures suitable for stickers was fun but was too convenient and so limited. You stand in one spot, rotate the beam around and often find stuff you hadn't noticed yet or didn't think was significant (like a piece of decor). Move to another…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After just 30 minutes of playing, the game bugged out so badly the game language changed to French, with the exception of "continue" and "quit", the menu options were all replaced by "New Game (in French)", all in game text disappeared and no cutscenes would play. Reseting or reinstalling the game didn't solve the issue. Seems like the only option is to delete your save file and start from the beginning. I can't in good conscience recommend a game that is that unstable. It happened within 30…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely buggy. On second start the game breaks. Language switches to French/ German. Can't change any settings anymore. Dialog unavailable. Very poorly made.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOTE: If you are dead set on getting this, wait until its on a deep sale. Honestly i wouldnt pay more than about 5 bucks for this. Because there is so little content. This game has BEAUTIFUL artwork, the world is very small however. The largest area being the desert probably. What to do in the game next is not very clear and things are not very intuitive. Theres one puzzle in the book where you have to move some stickers into a certain position but its not very clear at all and theres about 5…

There’s no combat, it’s mostly exploration, using your Holobook gives you the ability to scan and catalogue your discoveries on the planets. It also helps you get rid of Tar later on. It’s a sweet story. The art style is beautiful and so colourful, I love it! Btw for anyone wondering, you can get the fast fishing achievement even after scanning the fish for the first time, it’s…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a lovely game and I would love to have recommended it just for the lovely sticker collection. But after going to all worlds like 4 times to try and continue progress, which I cant because the game but bugged(doesn't even show quests on the side), I can't. If the devs can find and implement a fix I will change to recommend.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cute little game, perfect to relax and sometimes solve some puzzles. Some are a bit hard but give you "aha!" reaction when you solve it, most are relatively easy, if you are paying attention to details Not sure i can recommend it for a full price (maybe if the game would be longer and would allow up to teleport back to the ship instead of walking there all the time) but on a discount it's totally worth to play for a few evenings.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review is specially made for those who like to get all the achievements in games (minor spoilers ahead). Pilo and the Holobook is a short, casual exploration game where you play as a fox boy and explore a few different small alien planets, each with its own unique look and biome. As you explore, you’ll need to use your holobook to make stickers of objects and plants, complete other tasks, and solve a few puzzles. The characters are likable, and the story is also interesting, with a subtle…

The expressions on the fox's face were really something... That and I got stuck near the West and North borders of the desert twice. Lol. The game allowed me to explore that which I shouldn't...

Pilo is a cute character, honestly i buyed this game primally because He reminds me of Kingsley and Lucky, dont know why lol The only thing that i find strange (but its not that big of a deal) is the fact that the game kinda ends in a weird, anticlimatic way and it has a "testing water" kind of feel to it. Maybe it''s just me... Anyway, thanks fot this little cozy game, Mudita…

neutral · AI labelView post →This cozy game is a completionist's DREAM, and so beautifully illustrated! The bits of voice acting give it a nice touch, but the star of the show is definitely the hand-painted imagery and the adorable stickers. The only thing I didn't love about it was the desert biome but that's just me being nitpicky about the boundaries and how they were enforced. All in all, a solid cozy game with gorgeous visuals, and a sad story that draws you in.

positive · AI labelView post →If you enjoy exploring, collecting stickers, and solving puzzles, you will like this game. It has some good ideas, but I feel they could have expanded more on the puzzles. This game could easily receive new DLCs with new galaxies to explore, along with new storylines and puzzles. A very relaxing experience with wonderful artwork.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short summary: A short game (2-3 hours, maybe 4 -5 if you want to 100% it) that doesn't have much "gameplay", but very cute art style and characters. Relaxing, no failstate / game over, quite some running around back and forth. Small note / edit: Dualsense is not working for me under Linux without Steam Input. With Steam Input it works, but shows the wrong prompts/glyphs. -- So, yeah, *I* personally really enjoyed the game. But as others have said, the actual "gameplay" is not much:…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it for my kid, looks cozy. He spend his whole 60 minutes on-screen-time wandering through the first location [he's 6, so I'm trying to introduce him to easy-to-play games. He loves sticking stickers everywhere and on everything, so he enjoyed doing it digitally as well. I can see the value for younger players, but just looking at him playing, made me realize there's more to this game than I thought before the purchase. A solid positive on this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i absolutely loved playing this as a chronic collector. i loved the art style and the gameplay, as well as the story that little pilo went through. i will 100% one day, but i'm getting frustrated with finding everything lol (i have 1 sticker left on all the planets)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun and cute little adventure story. Hunting for and collecting all the stickers is really the heart of the game and takes the lion's share of the playtime to accomplish. One or two of the puzzles were a little challenging if you aren't very observant, but everything else was fairly easy to solve without much head scratching. I got about a dollar an hour of entertainment out of it so I was very pleased with it and can easily recommend it.

The art is beautiful, soundtrack is relaxing, main character is cute, the story is one of those pro-environment/ anti-pollution type ones, you know, something like Avatar or The Lorax, and in the case of this game the threat to the planets it’s…

The art style is very cute, you can tell the team loves these characters and would make more games with them if given the chance. The story was wholesome - it won't blow your mind, but think charm was the goal over novelty, so it works just fine. I will say that I had to look up a couple puzzle solutions, especially when I took a break from playing and came back later. But that…
