   The game can be played in the same way by using a touch screen (for mobile devices) or a mouse pointer (for computers), or alternatively through keyboard input (for computers).

   
   

   1. Touch Screen or Mouse Pointer:
      
      To move, simply tap anywhere on the screen. Your character will automatically plot a path and walk there without the need for continuous tapping.
      
      Interact with characters or objects by tapping on them.
      
      During conversations with other characters, tap to progress to the next dialogue line.
      
      Tapping during a video playback will end and close the video.
      
   2. Keyboard:
      
      Use the arrow keys to move. Hold down the desired direction for continuous movement, or tap once for a single step.
      
      To interact with characters or objects, press the SPACEBAR.
      
      During conversations, pressing the SPACEBAR advances to the next line of dialogue.
      
      During video playback, pressing the SPACEBAR will end and close the video.

   Welcome to a unique web adventure where you'll explore an island inspired by Oğulcan Temiz's personal website, OgulcanTemiz.com, as of October 1, 2023. This island and the game world reflect what Oğulcan's website and the internet might look like in a fictional, tangible form.  It reimagines my website as an island on the ocean among other islands (small websites) and metropolises (social medias, big websites) on lands.
   
   In 2013 I was taking Java classes at the uni. During these lessons, me and some friends were joking and laughing about creating a Pokemon game. And here it is, a fun idea that came true in 2023 after 10 years. Though, this game wasn't made in Java, but in Construct 3 engine, while I was learning and experimenting about game making. After trying Unreal Engine 5, GameMaker, GB Studio game engines, I found out Construct is the easiest one to start and build something rapidly with its intuitive visual coding structure and my limited knowledge of the topic.
   
   Due to time constraints, the game remains unfinished. It's not a typical game with missions & rewards; rather ir offers a relaxed walking simulator like experience. Enjoy your journey on this nostalgic island adventure.
