Ratings and reviews

Rough around the edges but still an overall positive experience. Storytelling and audio are great, but the mechanics are not well adapted to mobile. Tap targets are far smaller than recommended accessibility guidelines, and honestly the "assemble the puzzle" sequences take you out of the narrative flow with a frustrating "goddammit pick up the piece" experience.

What a beautiful game. I really enjoyed it. Slightly rough around the edges — some taps don't work so smoothly and the drawing function feels unfinished. However I am aware that this is a new game and thus regard it as a non-issue and know it will be fixed soon. I recommend this game for sure; took me around 30 minutes to play, but it leaves you deep in thought. Thank you for this!

I quite enjoyed my time playing this. The story is pretty short and sweet(?), the choices aren't a lot, but I think the twist could compensate for it (and it did catch me by surprise 💀💀💫). The controls are a little janky, especially during the painting session, but that might just be my phone. If you're looking for something to do at three in the afternoon like me, you might want to play this. Thank you for reading my ramblings, have a good one.
