Carto is a charming adventure game wrapped around a unique, world-altering puzzle mechanic. Use this power to explore mysterious lands, help a quirky cast of characters, and guide Carto on her journey back to her family.
Separated from her Granny during a storm, young Carto must use her innate cartography powers to map and manipulate the world around her on her quest to be reunited. As she discovers new “pieces” of the game map, players can rearrange them to shape the levels themselves – unlocking new paths, puzzles, and story moments.
Carto will traverse strange new lands, learn their cultures, and enlist the help of new friends along the way in this hand-crafted adventure.

You ever have an experience so nice the cynical part of your brain just shuts off?
I miss clicked and started the game up by accident and ended up not turning it off till i finished it was really nice like a little break with a friend.
If you like the art style and enjoy a light puzzle game every now and then just go ahead and play it you wont be disappointed.

A truely wholesome game ❤️
Traveling the world by map - who doesn't dream of it.
Carto ist a cozy game with a unique game mechanic: finding your way and solving puzzles by manipulating pieces of a map. The game is completed by its encouraging storyline and charming artstyle.
What I particularly enjoy, is the encouraging storyline: a girl getting lost and trying to find her way back could be a very gloomy story, but instead, this premise is treated with such love and hope that it becomes about exploring, confidence, finding out, where your path leads and growing on the journey.
Carto is very skillfully crafted and consistent, as the game mechanics and the storyline intertwine and the journey of the game becomes a confidence inspiring metaphor for finding your place in the world.
So, don't buy this game, if you're looking for difficult puzzles and fast paced action adventure stories.
Definitely, totally buy this game, if you would like to:
- solve medium difficult puzzles with great variety
- dive into a wholesome vibe
- make friends with a lot of kind, considerate and welcoming characters on your way
- enjoy the charming artstyle that creates adorable characteres, beautiful trees and varied sceneries of all continents

Finished it in just over 8 hours so it was a longer game than I was expecting for the price. I got 50% of achievements. I just followed along the story. Most of the puzzles weren't too hard but I did have to look up a bit that required more out of the box thinking to do unexpected things. It was an enjoyable play through. A good cozy game.

I am not big fan of puzzle game but I found myself enjoy this game. The art is superb and I am fond of the bgm as well. For puzzle itself, I feel like this game is missing a chance to increase the difficulty and offer new challenges in each chapter, at least from my gameplay. only one chapter that give not one 'square' block map to play and match with . But I don't have any issue on that though. For the story, not much here. TLDR: I recommend this game for all people who enjoy playing cozy puzzle game.

Carto is a charming and beautiful game made by Taiwanese indie company (respect!).
It is an excellent puzzle game!
It offers unique perspective to solving the puzzles, similar to games such as Hue, GOROGOA, Monument Valley, Framed and Old Man's Journey.
It is a fairly short game (~5hrs), with some relaxing puzzles and some that require having a brain.
Once again, I left game running over the night ffs.

A very fun and cute styled game where your main focus is exploring and solving puzzles using an interesting map mechanic... both for story progression as some secrets / bonus content.
It hooked me from start to end
Also you can hug the bear.... so go hug that bear!
