    Game info:
    This is a stunning looking adventure puzzle game. You play as an orphaned Cub and follow the trail of the last journey you took with your mother. This is mostly a puzzle game with a lot of challenging puzzles. A lot of times I felt at the start of a puzzle that it would impossible, but in the end, it always was possible. I just had to try and fail a lot on a few puzzles to figure it out. The game takes about 2-3 hours to beat.

    Achievements info:
    This information can change a bit since the developer told me he would like to add more achievements.

    Going for all the achievements is a lot harder. You may not use the hint system, you may not die and the more annoying one, you must find all the gems before completing a level since you can't go back to previous area's and the achievement unlocks only at the end of a level.

    Here a plan to help you get the 100% a bit easier than it was for me... I still have to go back to 2 areas to get those missing gems. When you start the game you'll get into the tutorial area. After you have solved your first puzzle the game will save. To find the save file in the following map on your computer: Max Nielsen > The Long Return > Data. Save that text file somewhere else so you can quit the game when something goes wrong and replace your current save with the save file you stored somewhere else. Make different save files at the beginning of each level, this way if you miss gems in a level you only have to redo that level and not later the whole game!

    The following list will tell you how many gems you need to have at the end of each area:
    - Tutorial zone: 24 gems, in a future update this will be an achievement, you'll have to redo it once that achievement is live
    - Frosty Lake: 19 gems, which means you need a total of 43 when you finish this area
    - Greenhorn Mountain: 29 gems, which means you need a total of 72 when you finish this area
    - Sunhill Valley: 64 gems, which means you need a total of 136 when you finish this area
    - Rocky Falls: 21 gems, which means you need a total of 157 when you finish this area

    Pros & cons:
    + Stunning looking game
    + challenging puzzles
    - missable achievements and no way to return to a specific zone without restarting the game
