Ratings and reviews

"Old Man's journey" does not have any fancy play style. All it needs is just dragging and clicking. As the player moves farthe(solving puzzles), the story will be reveal. The game does not have any text; all of the narrations are done by illustration, graphic, and animation. For the gameplay, all the puzzles require player to interact with background. This game, overall, is just a beautiful picture book. It takes patience to witness old Man's story and the landscape he walk through.

Relaxing game with a nice story and no ads. Not very challenging and not very long. It is innovative though, and there are enough new mechanics to keep it from feeling repetitive or grindy. It feels like a lot of care was put into the game as there were no technical issues. Took me an hour and a half of leisurely play to complete the game. So if that feels like a reasonable amount of time for the price (or if you have the play pass), and you enjoy adventure puzzle games, then I recommend it!

A lovely narrative game with a core game mechanic or moving grounds + a few additional ones appearing throughout the levels. There is no "speed up" option, the game wants you to take your time, and you should while walking through the scenery and watching cutscenes in the form of illustrations. Options are minimalistic (but enough for me), and there is almost no text. I got stuck once between a sheep herd and the edge of the screen, fortunately you can restart a level from the last cutscene.
