Your walk home is a side quest.

Say where you're going. Detourist bends your route past a few things worth seeing: a hidden cobbled court, an Art Nouveau door, a fountain from the 1600s. A few minutes extra, never a tour.

Your usual way from A to B as a straight dotted line, and the detour bending past two real places, twelve minutes longer.

You've walked past it a hundred times.

Every stop has photos, the address, who built it and when, and the story behind it. Tap Done when you've seen it, Reroll for another, Closed if the gate was shut.

Castel Béranger's stop in the app: photos of the façade and Guimard's gate, the address, the story and the walk's route on a small map.

Feed it places. Or it dies.

Your first find hatches a pet, one of thousands of combinations. It craves certain kinds of places and gets hungrier every level. Walk too little and it ends up in the graveyard.

Helga, a pet shaped like a neon sign, at level 4.

Badges you'll be slightly embarrassed by.

Tourist (Derogatory). Touched Grass. Harsh But Fair. Cultured, Allegedly. More than fifty, some of them secret.
