Our take on Map Map - A Game About Maps
The focus on manual map-making gives exploration a deliberate pace, but it leaves less room for combat, character development, or multiplayer activity. Progress depends on observing landscapes and working out locations with navigation tools rather than following a conventional action-adventure power curve.
