About Follow the Meaning
Follow the Meaning is a surreal, hand-drawn point-and-click adventure about detective Paul Trilby, who is summoned by a desperate letter to a peculiar island town. The town is divided by a wall and ruled by a Hospital. Regular citizens are admitted there and return without their memories, and Paul investigates the sinister conspiracy behind it.

You use wit, curiosity and lateral thinking to solve puzzles, with help from the citizens you meet. Local gossip may contain a grain of truth, and the mystery awaits close inspection.
Art and sound
Hand-drawn art and whimsical worldbuilding shape the town’s offbeat atmosphere, which carries a sinister undertone. The soundtrack is by Victor Butzelaar. The adventure takes an average of 1.5 hours to play.
