Ratings and reviews

Playing this game, in our smartphone, while seated in the sofa in the comfort of our home, with all the basic necessities available make us feel how privileged we are for being born in a specific part of the globe. It's not a game, more an interactive story, that put us in a different perspective of life. Amazing photography!

It's an amazing game with a lovely art style, my only issue is the glitched large magenta rectangles that randomly block my view of the art, as well as trees not touching the ground etc.

Wonderful experience overall. Beautiful graphics and educational, engaging storyline. Raises awareness for areas which suffer from lack of safe drinking water and educates players on other people's experiences across the world. Would be great if a second story was added to make the game even more engaging. Would be good if more context to the people and places which inspired the game was given, and perhaps a link to the charity supporting it. Would definitely play again!
