This is a -inspired game about locating an esteemed archaeologist by using her mysterious journal and photo log to track her travels on the alien planet of Farrow.

You have to place pins where a series of photos were taken—three at a time—to progress through the story and unlock more photos. You have to keep trying if any one of the three locations is incorrect.

The journal provides vital clues through text and illustrations.

A screenshot of the Locator demo's main menu. A starry sky in the upper half blends together with light blue clouds in the lower half. An alien planet is positioned in the upper-right corner. The Locator logo uses a white serif font with a stylized A in the middle, lacking its horizontal bar. The O is replaced with a yellow map pin icon—reminiscent of an upside-down water drop—with a round hole in it.
A screenshot of the Locator demo. The first map screen at the very start of the game, featuring an area labeled as Astiri Station. In the south-west is an snowy and icy region with a crashed spaceship. In the south-east is a large, hourglass-shaped building connected via a series of wooden bridges to the icy area to the west. From the building's northern exit, a gold-colored bridge leads onward to a ring-shaped platform on the ocean. Five more bridges, shaped like straight arms with pincers, lead out in different directions from the central platform. Each pincer appears to be holding another round platform with a red circle at its core. Aside from the map, the screen also features a closed, glowing Photo Log by Abigail Lidari; a Journal by the same; a missing person's poster showing that Abigail disappeared on this alien planet of Farrow, and the following written letter: "Dear Cartographer, This request is likely far outside your usual expertise, but I have exhausted all other options. My sister and esteemed archaeologist, Abigail Lidari, has gone missing. Last night I discovered her journal, photos, and map. I don't know how these items reached me, but it suggests she may still be alive. With the scarce details from Abigail's journal, photos and map, can you track her journey and discover her whereabouts? I eagerly await your results, - Brienne Lidari"
A screenshot of the Locator demo. The same map screen as the previous one, except the photo log has been opened and reveals a photograph from the cockpit of the crashed ship. The photo is accompanied by this note: "Abigail Lidari here, my ship may be a burning wreck but it worked! Planet Farrow is just outside, just moments away..." Below the photo is also the game's instructions: "Where was this photo taken? Click on Map to Place Pin"
A screenshot of the Locator demo. A similar map screen to the previous one, but featuring a new map of the Paragos Islands. The map features a handful of islands, centering on a particularly large one with mountains and villages. In the mountain range that reaches from the northern tip to the southernmost parts of the island, there are three dark domes. In the north-western, north-eastern, south-western and south-eastern parts of the island are villages consisting of spherical, white huts connected with series of raised walkways. The north-western and south-eastern villages are above water.
