The Goal of The Game

Bearing in mind that the game is a point and click adventure game that has no room for dialogue, the Old Man’s Journey gives your room to explore and figure things out on your own.

Once you begin the game, you will understand the objective of the game is to travel across several landscapes and unearth the hidden parts of the past of this old man. For you to achieve this, you will need to find answers to some puzzles that are very easy to figure out and also rewarding.

How Exploration Works in Old Man’s Journey

Although you are allowed to click on anywhere on the screen, but the game has been designed to make it impossible for the old man to get to every location at the beginning of the game, there are times when it will require a bit terra-morphing.

For example, if you click on the hills and some other areas in the game, a yellow outline will show up around the edges. You are allowed to move your finger up and down. This will reconfigure the scenery so that the old man can reach new areas.

Waterfalls are Important

Although it can appear as dangerous, telling the old man to go down a waterfall will be needed at times.

Telling the old man to use the waterfalls that you find during the game will make it possible for you to get to the lower platforms on the landscapes

Ensure the Train Keep the Tracks

You will get to a stage in the game where you will need to board a train. This will transport you across the amazing countryside, but the puzzle here is that there are train tracks everywhere.

In a similar way to how you made it through the hills in the game, you will have to drag the tracks in every direction to ensure that the train keeps moving.

Animals

There are stages in the game where you will meet animals; some of the animals will be helpful. While there are some that will try to make things difficult for you, the easiest way to know their intent is by interacting with them and see how they act.

For example, just after starting the game, you will meet a cat that you can follow. The cat is there to help you to move past that stage of the game. Then, you will get to a stage where you will meet a sheep that you must do away with it before you can continue your journey.
