Info about Tukoni: Forest Keepers:

Official game description:
Tukoni: Forest Keepers is a cute & cozy puzzle adventure made in collaboration with Ukrainian artist Oksana Bula, author and illustrator of the Tukoni books. Play as Traveller, a forest spirit on a special journey, as you explore magical hand-drawn locations, meet charming characters, solve handcrafted puzzles, collect herbs and tea recipes, and help the forest prepare for the coming winter.
**A magical world brought to life**
-----------------------------------
Step inside the world of Tukoni, where gentle forest spirits live alongside animals and care for the world around them.
Some Tukoni look after plants and trees, while others watch over the changing seasons from the Heart of the Forest. This autumn, Traveller is called on a special journey to help the forest prepare for the coming winter.
Explore four hand-drawn locations filled with tiny homes, hidden paths and curious details, and discover a forest where nature and everyday life are inseparable.
**Help the forest prepare for winter**
--------------------------------------
The Month of the Mushroom has begun, and there is plenty to do before the first frost arrives.
While some animals prepare to enter the world of winter dreams, others are getting ready to face the cold months ahead. The Forest Keepers are busy too — preparing supplies, making pillows and making sure everyone has what they need.
Join Traveller on his special mission and meet around 20 inhabitants of the forest along the way. Help them finish their autumn tasks, learn their little quirks and stories, and perhaps stay for a cup of tea before setting off again.
**Dozens of puzzles woven into the forest**
-------------------------------------------
Every backpack is made to be filled, every lock has its key, and everything that has become mixed up will eventually find its way back where it belongs.
Solve dozens of handcrafted puzzles and mini-games inspired by the places you visit and the characters you meet. Look for clues, arrange objects, unlock tricky locks, gather what someone needs and find creative solutions to the little problems you encounter along the way.
And whenever an important detail might otherwise slip away, Traveller has his trusty moss-covered Notebook. Filled with sketches and memories of your journey, its pages can hold just the clue you need to keep going.
**Learn the art of tea**
------------------------
There's no greater gift than sharing a cup of fragrant herbal tea with a friend.
Meet Tea Tukoni, the forest's resident tea expert, and learn the art of brewing from a true professional. Earn your own Tea Ceremony Box, discover new recipes, gather herbs throughout your journey and prepare different brews for the characters you meet.
Because in the world of Tukoni, making tea is more than mixing ingredients. Plants nurtured by the sun carry the scents of summer fields and autumn gardens — and with a little care, you can put all of that warmth into a cup.
**Take a much-deserved break**
------------------------------
Not every moment in the forest needs a task.
Hidden throughout your journey are cozy spots — little nooks where Traveller can settle in, pause the adventure for a moment and simply enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
Rest beneath the autumn leaves. Draw in your Notebook. Sit by a gentle stream.
And whenever you're ready, pick up your backpack, and continue your journey.
**A wholesome adventure for all ages**
--------------------------------------
With its charming hand-drawn world, gentle puzzles and heartwarming characters, Tukoni: Forest Keepers is a family-friendly adventure that parents and children can enjoy together.
Whether it's a lazy afternoon or a chilly evening, cozy up with Tukoni and escape into a world of warmth and wonder — a place to unwind, enjoy the little things and spend some time together.
