* {{Railroading}}: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] There are some sections of the world that overlap with each other, but there are obstacles that keep you from taking the most straightforward path to them (i.e. water between a chasm that's too wide to jump across) forcing you to find an alternate route. Other than that, the game gives you total freedom to travel anywhere you want in the game.

An incredibly relaxing {{Freeware}} platform game by {{Nifflas}}, the creator of ''WithinADeepForest'' and ''KnyttStories''. The game combines basic gameplay elements of the ''{{ICO}}'' series with the drowsy atmosphere of ''{{Creatures}}'', only cuter, and shorter, and happier. And with really sweet retro graphics. And made of breathtaking SceneryPorn.

The story is quite simple: The Knytt, a weird little creature, gets abducted from his native planet by an alien. However, before reaching its supposed destination, the alien's ship crashes against an astroid, and the alien makes an emergency landing on a nearby planet. If he ever wants to get home again, the Knytt must help the alien recover the parts of the spaceship which has been scattered all over the strange planet.

The strange little world is a gorgeous, diverse maze full of little houses and curious little critters. Some want to attack the Knytt, whose only power is jumping -- it can't fight or defend itself. Some just live their own little lives while the Knytt walks by.

The game can be finished in less than an hour, but its non-linearity gives it a high ReplayValue. There's a massive bonus area too, if you know where to look. You'll probably want to play it a few times over. With a nice cup of tea.
