Overview

About this game

Hey there!

Ever find yourself stuck in front of your PC with zero motivation to do the things life actually expects from you? Then this little app we made might be just what you need.

Type in what you're about to do, place your cursor in the square, and watch the little wanderer set off. While you’re away doing something useful, like going for a walk, cleaning up, or grocery shopping, he’ll quietly gather steps in the background. And when you come back, he might even have earned a new hat for his efforts.

Spending Time Off-Screen

We know it’s not always easy to get away from screen and deal with life stuff. This app gives you a gentle push in the right direction and a small reward for being off-screen.

Minimalist Design

This is a super minimal experience. No pressure, no complexity, no real gameplay. Just peaceful vibes and a little guy walking while you’re AFK.

Rewarding Hats

Rack up steps to unlock a handful of charming hats. Equip whatever suits your style.

If you enjoy this, please consider picking up the Supporter Pack DLC. It helps us keep making creative content like this. And if you’ve got any feedback, we’d love to hear from you on our Discord :)
