Plot

The game's action takes us to a fictional, post-apocalyptic world called Cigalo. The presence of people had a negative impact on the world, turning Cigalo from a green planet into a wasteland of ruins.

On our way, we meet a few who have not left this hostile environment. They include robots left after the exploitation of the planet, people living in the city, and the mysterious SandWitch.

Niche Gamer: 4.5 / 10

The game does its best to stretch its playtime by having you half-explore places before being able to come back with the correct gadget and access one or two extra rooms, which would be enjoyable if its puzzles and gameplay weren’t simple to a fault, instead creating an overall forgettable experience.

Full Review

Digitally ed: 5 / 5

I cannot say enough good things about Caravan SandWitch. It is a top-tier chill game. You can tell the instant Sauge steps foot on Cigalo: it’s especially calm for a post-apocalyptic planet, save for a massive storm brewing far out. The very few elements that didn’t work in my favour aren’t enough to even consider lowering my score for the game. That yellow van is instantly iconic the second you lay eyes on any visual of it. Caravan SandWitch has simple controls, colourful graphics, and oddly enough no sense of pending doom (despite Cigalo being on the edge of extinction.)

Nindie Spotlight: 6.8 / 10 by Justin Nation

An enjoyable mix of exploration and some adventure without much stress, but that also makes it less memorable
