Ratings and reviews

Nice game with beautiful artworks and great soundtrack. The story is well implemented, but a little to predictable. The riddles are good, but a little to easy, especially towards the end of the game. The gameplay is a beautiful example of what can be arcieved with a touchscreen. However, it also gets a little repetitive after a while.

"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!
