I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME! The story drove me to tears and brought back memories of my late husband. The story telling devices used within add crafted BEAUTIFULLY, as well as the art, animations, music, and puzzle driven narrative! My ONLY complaint is that it is FAR TOO short!!! This game is too well thought long and eye-catching for it to be so miserably brief! I would LOVE a sequel possibly centered around Jack! I'd even settle for a collection of several stories that intersect/merge!

It's a fun and interesting puzzle game where you sometimes perform some light painting using the touchscreen. It's an interesting experience the the presentation is really high. There's some animated cutscenes between segments and some high quality audio tracks. The only downside is that the whole experiance only lasts between 1-2 hours. It reminds me a bit of the game old mans journey a fun but short experience that has a story to tell..

I have this game in my epicgames but only played it in mobile with Crunchyroll. And I did not regret playing it on mobile and wouldn't recommend anything else to try it on. What I thought would be a short cozy game about art and being an artist left me in so much feels instead. i love the art and music. And I love all the effort poured into this game. I would recommend this game any day.
