When you first open To Be Free, the entire world is hidden beneath dark fog. Only the places you physically walk to — exactly those — are cleared, revealing the map beneath. Not a character on screen, but your own two feet are the key that opens the world.

■ Your map grows with every step

Walking paths, your commute, alleyways in a city you're visiting — every place your feet reach is recorded permanently. The neighborhood you explored for the first time today, the unfamiliar streets you walked while traveling, all build up into your own personal map of exploration.

■ Compete with explorers worldwide

The fog you clear is converted into your share of the entire planet explored, and placed on a global leaderboard. See how much of the world you've covered on foot, and compete in real time with explorers everywhere.

■ Key features
· Real-time GPS fog clearing — just walk, and it records automatically
· Three difficulty levels — choose your clearing radius (Easy about 400m / Normal about 300m / Hard about 60m)
· Background tracking — your route is recorded even when the app is closed (enable in Settings)
· Satellite map support — see the real terrain you've explored
· Border & coastline layers — a richer world map
· Global leaderboard — sign in with Google and compete with the world
· Cloud backup — switch devices and keep your exploration intact

■ Perfect for
· People who love walking and taking strolls
· Travelers who want to record where they've been
· Anyone who wants exercise that motivates like a game
· Those who enjoy the satisfaction of widening their world, step by step

Head outside now, and open your own world.
