One of the things I'm already learning about Apple Arcade is that it's quite hard to stay on top of it. The service launched with enough stuff to make it a bit of a challenge to pick through everything, and as of last week - maybe this week? - there's now 100 games available.
This means that it's easy to miss something special - and when that something is a new game by Amanita Design, that's a bit of a tragedy.
Amanita Design is the team behind Samorost and Machinarium. Pilgrims is the studio's latest offering, and it's out now on Apple Arcade and PC. It's an adventure game that's built around trading. You explore a bucolic map, moving from point to point, meeting people and bartering for the stuff they need with the stuff you've picked up. A bandit in the woods won't let you pass before you've found some potatoes and cooked them for him. A demon thing living in a hole wants some rope - but for what?! Everything leads to something else, and while the story is pretty short, it's wonderfully compact and stuffed with promise.
