{ About }
Exploring is an art-based activity in which Mime Dogs go to new areas all over Sympan to learn more about the world around them.
Exploring divides itself into two important parts: Nature Restoration, and Bond Restoration.
Through Exploration, Mime Dogs will find information that helps them fill out their Journals. Once they obtain enough information about an area's biome, ruins, and species, they will be able to restore their connection to the place ( Nature Restoration ).
After that, they'll be able to learn more about the species living there, and— with the help of some pawmade gifts— they can bond with the area's characters, restoring connections between different groups ( Bond Restoration ).

{ Exploration Areas }
All Mime Dogs have access to starting areas. However, more areas are unlocked as you restore nature or bonds.
Additionally, different Mime Dog breeds have different boosts in specific areas, making them easier to succeed in.

Unlockable Areas
Dancing Forest
A strange place where all plant life grows from twisted stems, giving them a playful appearance. Older Sympan dwellers frown upon those who wish to explore it.
Ghostwood
Dark woods made up of huge trees that stop light from reaching the ground. Strange sounds can be heard from the darkness.
Leaflet Isle
A small islet thought to have been a paradisiacal meeting point for several species across Sympan.
Mt. Mystery
The largest mountain in Sympan. It is said that danger lurks for those too confident in themselves.
Pink Lake
A lake with dangerously alkaline water. The chemical makeup of the land makes it inhabitable for Mime Dogs.

{ Restoration }
Restoration can be done once a Mime Dog has recorded enough information about an area in their Journal! Each Mime Dog keeps a Journal of their own, so even if a player has unlocked an area before, a different Mime Dog would need to go through the area again to restore their part of it, too.
Nature Restoration
Nature restoration is done once a Mime Dog fills their Journal entry for the area. An area has three sections to be filled:
- Ruins: information about the area's past.
- Biome: information about the area's ecosystem.
- Culture: information about the area's living creatures.
Bond Restoration
Bond restoration is done once a Mime Dog forms a social bond with the creatures living in the area. This can be done through different means, though options will differ from area to area:
- Gift-giving: crafting a gift for a new friend, based on what's been learned about the area's culture.
- Helping: aiding a new friend through a request of theirs.
