[p][/p][p]Hey Campers!

Open up your adventure journal and prepare to take notes so that you don’t miss these wholesome hidden moments that lie just off the beaten path in Pine Hearts. [/p][p]They're not signposted, nor are they part of your main quest, but these wholesome moments will bring you joy as you play, enhance your experience, and may even reward you for engaging with those seemingly innocuous objects.[/p][p]
From finding treasure maps to wildlife encounters, we’re here to make sure you don’t miss them. [/p][p]Campsite[/p]

• [p]If you’re a fan of skipping stones, you’ll find the perfect pile of rocks close to the Lone Campers HQ just waiting to be skipped across the water.[/p]
• [p]Keep a look out for a very good boy waiting patiently for some pets if you’re on your way to the Ruined Castle. Just don’t let Bonnie see.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Ruined Castle[/p]

• [p]The Castle Wall has a number of cannons placed along it which can all be interacted with. You may even find something useful inside one of them.[/p]
• [p]Find a penny, pick it up, for the rest of the day you’ll have good luck. Especially if you throw it into the wishing well near the Ruined Castle.[/p]
• [p]Watching the butterflies flit about among the gravestones is wholesome in itself, but once you have the right tools and abilities, you may find there’s more to them once you come back…
  [/p]

[p]Caravan Park[/p]

• [p]Fancy a kick-about? Try your best to score a goal at the pitch close to the Play Park. [/p]
• [p]There’s nothing more Scottish than The Highland Games. You can attempt to beat the current champion just a log’s toss from the Gala.[/p]
• [p]Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Pitchside Lets, you’ll find a fun and nostalgic way to indulge your inner child.
  [/p]

[p]Golf Course[/p]

• [p]If there’s one thing we highly recommend, it’s searching around the Golf Course for the Otter’s Den. If you take the time to find it beyond the blossom trees, you’ll be in for a treat.
  
  [/p]

[p]Rockpools[/p]

• [p]The Rockpools offer a diverse habitat for wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may encounter the elusive King Crab, as well as a family of seals, both of which offer wholesome and entertaining interactions.[/p]
• [p]There’s nothing more fun than scaring seagulls, which you’ll be able to do by pressing some big red buttons near the lighthouse.[/p]
• [p]Once you have earned the fishing rod, you’ll be able to fish at any of the many fishing spots around Pine Hearts. You might find some interesting things while fishing, and if not, it’s a pleasant way to pass some time.[/p]
• [p]We’ve left a special piece of treasure lying around somewhere near the Rockpools, we just can’t quite remember where. Keep your eyes peeled for a message in a bottle which we're sure will offer a clue as to where to find it.[/p]

[p][/p][p]If you’ve found any more wholesome moments we may not have included in the list (there are a lot!), please share them in the comments so that others can find and enjoy them.[/p][p]
Stay tuned, as we’ll soon be exploring some easily missed side quests, but for now, if you’re ready to begin your adventure, Pine Hearts is 25% off in the Steam Summer Sale until July 10.
