Follow the meaning is a surreal point-and-click puzzle adventure game available for macOS (via Steam, GOG.com, and itch.io). In this quirky indie title, you step into the shoes of detective Paul Trilby, drawn to a peculiar island town by a mysterious letter. The town is split by a giant wall and dominated by a strange Hospital where citizens are admitted and return without their memories — and it’s up to you to unravel its dark secrets through observation, dialogue, and clever logic-based problem solving.
The game is inspired by classic surreal adventure series like Samorost and Rusty Lake, and features hand-drawn art, atmospheric music, and a dream-like narrative that blends whimsical worldbuilding with unsettling themes. Gameplay focuses on exploring environments, talking with eccentric characters, and combining items to unlock clues and advance the investigation. The experience is relatively short — approximately 1.5 hours of play — making it a tight, focused adventure suited to players who enjoy mystery and storytelling. Mac system requirements are modest, with macOS 11 or later supported and low hardware demands.
