Overview
TRACE IT is a cozy puzzle game from developer and publisher HuntForge, released on October 25, 2026. It blends the charm of hand-drawn paper aesthetics with the satisfying logic of a classic railway-building puzzle.
The core idea is simple: each row and column has a number indicating how many cells contain track. You start at an entrance on the board's edge and must connect straight and curved pieces into a single, unbroken railway that reaches the exit—no branches, no loops, just a clean path.
Highlights
- 500 Levels: A substantial campaign of hand-crafted puzzles, each verified to have exactly one unique solution. No guesswork—pure logic.
- Relaxing Presentation: Warm hand-drawn visuals and a gentle soundtrack create a calm, tea-sipping atmosphere. The minimalist, cute art style is easy on the eyes.
- Single-Player, Mouse-Friendly: Designed for solo play with full mouse support, plus Steam Cloud saves and achievements. Available in 12 languages, including Japanese.
Who It's For
If you enjoy logic puzzles like Sudoku or Picross, or if you're a fan of cozy, minimalist games that let you unwind, TRACE IT is a perfect fit. The lack of time pressure and the satisfaction of deducing the correct route make it ideal for casual sessions—whether you have five minutes or an hour.
It's also a great choice for puzzle enthusiasts who appreciate clean, hand-drawn aesthetics and a gentle pace.
