Ratings and reviews

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!

this game was free with my playpass, but for only 2$ I still wouldve bought it. The entire time I was left wondering why the old man was beckoned back home, and finding out the reality was beautiful. Going through his memories and learning his backstory was amazing. The graphics, gameplay, and everything else was amazing. People may say it's repetitive but it's far from it. It's relaxing, and a little tricky sometimes. 5 stars, made me smile.

I played this for free with my Google play pass. $5 seems steep for the gameplay, which was unique and interesting but a bit repetitive. There's some variation to the gamrplay and I think those elements could have been built on further to keep things interesting and engaging. But the story was so sad and sweet that I cried. The art is supurb and the way the landscape moves is satisfying and dynamic. You can't get stuck, you just need to think creatively when you're in a weird spot.
