Paperbark is a short little story about a wombat, living in the aussie outback. Gotta admit I wasn’t expecting the bushfire part.. and there were a few glitches around the bird seed part where I had to restart that chapter, but overall it was a cute little story with (what I think to be) a bittersweet ending. :)

An adorable wombat walking sim. The only real issue I had with it is that the movement is a bit buggy and I wish you could control the wombat with WASD instead of the mouse. Works fine on Linux with Proton (Proton 4.2-1).

A short and sweet point and click game where you live the life of a Wombat. Obviously aimed at younger gamers, but this old boy still enjoyed its slow and relaxed atmosphere. The artwork and soundscape is really good, it does really remind me of the bush. Though is would nice to have music from first nations people. Square poos are the best!

very cute, but extremely short point and click walking game with a bit of story and quite a few collectibles. the story is written and voiced at the same time. takes around ~2 hours to complete if going for 100% achievements. if only following the story (& not caring about collectibles) i think you can complete it in... 20-40 minutes? rest of my playtime is idling for card drops. overall i would say it's not really worth it on full price judging by the small amount of playtime you'll get out of it, but i definitely enjoyed my time. so if you can pick it up in a bundle or on a sale, very much recommended if the above description interests you! this also seems like a perfect game for a small child to play as a cute lil wombat and explore.

Super chill point and click game with very lovely art style and music. Can be finished in 2 hours if you want all achievements. Story is about a lil wombat's journey and you just can't ignore the cuteness of it. <3
