  • Cute, quick game worth sticking with

    The beginning didn’t hook me the first time I tried to play, but I’m glad I came back to it. I enjoyed the whimsy of the game but also the heavy emotional impact of the ending. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but it resonated with grief I’m dealing with in real life.

    Also, someone saying this game wasn’t worth $4 probably doesn’t understand the sheer undertaking of game development. Two hours of well-crafted puzzles and story is definitely worth $4, you’d pay as much to rent a movie.

  • Original and excellent

    Yes it’s got some hiccups here and there, but considering ONE guy did the whole thing, languages and all, it’s beyond impressive. The nitpicky reviewers should be ashamed of themselves; they’re putting big money game studio expectations on a one man band. I loved it, and thought the price was generous.

    If the critics have a better game that they made by themselves, I’d love to see it. Since they don’t, I wish they’d think for a minute about what went into this, and perhaps realize that the creator had no financial incentive whatsoever to do all that work that they so readily dump on. Indie efforts like this should be lauded for the 99% that’s great, not berated for everything less than perfect.

  • Really not very good, sadly

    I don‘t have a problem in general how short it is. Only that most of the time is spent running around. But there are more problems. First, navigation is absolutely horrible. You never know where you can go and where not. I spent a lot of time in the beginning because of this and I just could not find the salt. Second, while the idea of the rhymes is novel, most of them are so, SO bad, like written by 7 year olds or autotranslated from another language. The artstyle is often very crude as well. I am a big fan of point and click adventures and played all the classics. Some of them multiple times. I really wanted to like it, but honestly I am happy to have finished it and very likely won‘t touch it ever again.

  • Fun but short

    Very fun game with good puzzles, but for this price I would expect it to take longer to complete
  • Interesting and nostalgic game

    Great fun
  • Fabulous game but a few bad spots for movement

    I’m an adventure gamer from the old days, so this hit the spot, perfect. Just one complaint: it’s too difficult to make some of the simplest moves that are required. Like for the life of me I cannot walk past the barn to the left most of the time when I try. Why is it so difficult?!?! So frustrating.

  • Cool little story

    Great soundtrack, great story. Played this with my wife as our bedtime story over a few weeks. Loved it.
  • Impressive Rhymes in Multi-Languages

    I love classic point-and-clicks by LucasArts and Sierra. This game very much reminded me and gave me that feel of old King’s Quest games, but especially Loom.

    It is shorter than most adventures, but it is sophisticated. I am fluent in both French and English and found the translation of the dialogues impressively accurate while maintaining rhyme, and still giving the necessary hints to solve problems. These are for sure not “just translated.” A lot of thought went into it. I applaud the creator for this.

    The story is sweet, and the puzzles not over the top difficult. It’s a friendly point-and-click for newbies.
