Carto

Carto is a puzzle game built around rearranging map tiles to change the world itself. You play as a girl separated from her grandmother, solving environmental puzzles by rotating and repositioning pieces of the map grid. Moving a forest tile next to a river might open a new path; swapping two desert sections could reveal a hidden character. Progress depends on experimenting with tile layouts to unlock story beats and navigate each area. The mechanic stays central throughout—you're constantly shuffling terrain rather than just walking through it. Light tone, no combat. Works for puzzle fans who like spatial reasoning over reflex challenges.
