The WhatsNext verdict
For Fans of whimsical, hand-crafted adventure games who relish experimental problem-solving and eccentric character comedy.: Pilgrims turns traditional point-and-click item management into an inventive card-based toy box, where using different companions and odd curiosities leads to delightfully animated, laugh-out-loud outcomes. Tradeoff: The runtime is very brief, and its abstract, wordless logic can occasionally tempt players into brisk trial-and-error rather than reasoned deductions.
