A Puzzle Adventure Game Where YOU Control the Earth! - Carto

[@Aliensrock]

A wonderful palette cleanser from the abrasive games I've been playing lately. If you're not one for story and only care about the puzzles, don't worry! Apparently the puzzles get quite tricky later on.

The people are here because they came from another island.

[@TuRkEyBlo0d]

The older people on the island is people who have made the "coming-of-age" journey already. They left home and found the island you're on. They settled after journeying, got older. Had kids with other people that journey'ed to the island as well. Then the circle of life continues with their traditions.

Hi fan channel

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Given the small population of the island, I’m guessing the “coming of age” tradition serves to prevent inbreeding. You leave the island and presumably meet and marry someone from a different island, forming the new island’s adult population. While this could be accomplished by only applying the rule to either men or women instead of both, it’s more egalitarian to apply it to both, and it’s possible their culture wants to avoid people becoming too settled or inheriting family property because that’s not the lifestyle they want.

[@completelybored9228]

14:14 I'm guessing there's a bunch of islands that have the same tradition (from everyone travelling to a new island) and also send people off - those people from other islands land on each others islands, preventing inbreeding. That's probably how the traditipn came about.

[@aiocafea]

12:45 there's something sweet about this new freind asking you for some dirt and you as an island god rip apart a tectonic plate for her and just can't figure out how the bag can hold it

[@mirat9753]

I like how the grandma casually shows Carto how to literally bend the word

[@ThAlEdison]

14:15 The adults all came from a different (possibly multiple different) other islands. The idea seems to be that there's a bunch of islands the people are spread around, and they're all sending their teenagers off to find other people to settle down with, who go on to do the same thing.

Played through this game a couple months ago. It was pretty enjoyable and really relaxing, but I never felt that it was very challenging.

[@bananatheo3796]

yeah same, i kind of prefer it that way though.

[@redlancer7263]

The puzzles seemed "hard" enough that it took some reasoning to get through them, but if they were anything like Snakebird/Sausage Roll I don't think I would have been as invested in the story.

[@sonicsupersam7793]

Later on it was a bit of a challenge. Very chill game anyway. Highly recommend it.

[@introman1854]

So like portal?

[@ATGM_Main]

Thats what I love about it too man, its mostly wholesome, and relaxing, unlike pony island, but I like both

[@UltraVast]

The puzzles don't become too difficult. Some were head scratchers, but I was able to get through it pretty easily. There is apparently some sort of hidden items collection going on for people looking for secrets. I'd suggest going for that to see if there's something more to that.

[@Yokozai]

Tyler saying "Girl same" is all I've ever needed

[@JokerDoom]

I love how this turned into an ASMR channel for all of 60 seconds

I need Tyler to play one of the Nancy Drew games! A good mix of puzzles, interesting characters, and in certain games, some pretty creepy moments!

@@TheXeeman Nice! I need to watch his playthroughs myself, but he seems very fun!

[@Rob-nu2yo]

I really like this channel for having such a big variety of puzzlers, with most of them having under 10 walkthroughs/let's plays on youtube. Not just hard ones like baba, snakebird and cosmic express, but also things like The Room, this game, Inscryption, Roll, Superliminal and a lot of the one or two videos games

[@minhdang2514]

I think inscryption would classify more as a card game rather than a puzzle game

[@bogesy]

Oh hell yeah, Carto is one of my favorite puzzlers, I'm happy to have stumbled onto it last year on game pass.

[@sinomirneja771]

(15:15) It's probably not only this island that send off people at 15. Would make sense if these are a people living in a shifting archipelago and send their kids out to other islands when they are ready to live.

[@catkook543]

my understanding is, the tradition is carried on to the next island as well. so the people here now left their home island at 15 and arrived here 14:37

[@vinsplayer2634]

The tutorial island still has people, because they were send off to that island from another island when they were fifteen.

[@sonicsupersam7793]

If anybody hasn’t played this, I highly recommend it. It’s so good.

[@philipsheehan3754]

I love this, it’s such a nice change from inscription

[@rye2494]

Couldn’t make it through this game myself cause I got bored, so I’m glad to see you playing it so I can at least have finished playing it in spirit

[@liquid7105]

pls go back and play carto 🥰

[@redlancer7263]

I loved playing throught this game! It was a lovely afternoon!

[@evanhansen2354]

I love this games art style so much

[@Jo-wo7ud]

Ive been loving the content just don't burn yourself out!

[@JokerDoom]

If they send everyone away once they turn 15, the young people have to settle new or old islands. That implies the adults there all came from a different island. 15 year olds from other islands can settle on that island just fine.

[@pyritepanx]

This game is so charming. I love it

i dont know why but i really don't like when you don't examine something that can could, for example the dirt mound at 5:32

[@WhitefoxxGaming]

Lovely video tyler! I always love watching you as my morning routine. Have you ever played outer wilds? Seems like a game you'd really enjoy!

[@Thezombeh1]

14:15 well the parents are prob from another island and when they turned 15 they set sail and end up in that island

[@christianeriksson9165]

Love this game. Such a joy to play

[@pikminman13]

I like having a good blend of games to watch from Tyler. Some traditional puzzle games, some somewhat weird games, and some games that are just neat.

[@felixsylvestre]

I love more chilled games like this. Just Tyler's narration helps me to relax at night. Its like asmr for 30 minutes

Every time he passes a bush, I keep expecting him to stop and collect the berries. Don't Starve habits die hard, I guess.

[@elementgermanium]

Haven’t finished the video but part of me is honestly a little upset that Shianan just did a total 180 the minute she appeared. I was hoping they’d explore the theme of not all traditions being good and finding your own way rather than relying on peer pressure from dead people. I mean, they still could have had her go, it’s kinda necessary to get off tutorial island, but she made some really good points and then just completely went back on them immediately. She clearly cares a lot about her family, as she expressed literally minutes before, and then she seems so excited to leave them with no real reason given for the change. Like sure she has a friend now, but I don’t think someone you met literal minutes ago can just replace your loved ones like that.

[@DarkMahge]

First time you have played a game that ive played before, i can finally understand whats going on first episode 😂

[@cecilrhodes2153]

Lol at the ‘Rose by any other name’ joke ~ 26:52

[@taryth.]

I've been wondering if you were ever going to get to this game. It's a pretty cute one, with some interesting puzzles near the end.

[@HunterB23]

The parents are at the tutorial island because that is the island they landed at after their coming of age - I’m assuming that it :)

[@TrueNargin]

I was wondering the same thing - how are there still people on this island if they all leave once they're 15? I found my answer at 7:40 - I think they just settle wherever they arrive and that becomes their home island and their children do the same thing. Makes me wonder what happens to a 15 year old kid whose new island turns out to have no people.

[@popking44]

love the content, ive just found myself binge watching alot of your vids

[@Rubbly]

The "Rose by any other name" line was subtle, I liked it

Ooh, I’ve played this one. Decent mechanics, but it does get repetitive after a while. Worth checking out though, pretty solid

[@Vexurayr]

What a charming puzzle game. Please play more!

[@Malaphor2501]

I wonder what the whole map moving mechanic looks like to the local inhabitants. Like one day, you cross the creek to do some whatever, and at the end of the day you turn around and suddenly your house is miles away and you have no idea what direction is north.

[@bananatheo3796]

[@Mr_Doodler]

I have played this and my favourite moment that is in the video is 15:46 because when I was playing with my sister and when the picture was on screen I said “GET OF THE PADDLE” in a slightly robot mixed with a western voice and we still joke about it today

My first thought on the sheep was "click on them multiple times, and they'll go "Bah Ram You" and explode.

[@zackbuildit88]

The island may be part of a set of two or more archipelagos, each one neighboring a big circular water current. Whenever they set sail, they end up in the current, and get moved over to a random island in the next archipelago. Then, at the end of the line, people end up back at the first one. That’s how there are still people, how it seems common for them to have been born in a different tribe, etc

This reminds me of the board game carcasonne, also very fun :D

[@BRaYyANnnn]

I think you should try A little Golf Journey, it’s not a hard game but if you try to go for all the stars, it almost becomes a puzzle because of the limited shots you have, plus there are a bunch of secrets, right up your alley

[@redstowen]

This is good to rewatch

[@ATGM_Main]

By what it seems like, a new island means new people and culture.. thats cool

Legend of Mana also has a feature where you unlock pieces to build a world, although not quite like this game.

I don't know much about it, but i know it has a speedun community and may be your type of puzzle game? just what you said at the beginning of the video made me think of it
