Ilo and Milo are two friends, creatures known as "Safkas", that meet daily for companionship inside a bizarre "park" in a strange world, populated by odd characters including other Safkas, utilitarian lifeforms known as "Cubes", and the haughty but helpful Sebastian, a small man wearing a bicorne and riding a flying beetle. Despite being best friends the two suffer from a horrible short term memory, and forget the way back to their meeting place every time they go home (and it doesn't help matters that the park seems to change every night). You have to help guide the two to meet each other every day while collecting lost memories and other collectables.
tropes featured in ilomilo:
- all lowercase letters: the title.
- …But He Sounds Handsome: Before The Reveal that the Huntsman is actually Sebastian, Sebastian describes him as "handsome, too, from what I heard".
