Beautiful game

I found this game to be calmly amusing. I’ve played the first few levels and they aren’t too hard. Quite simple really. I expect the difficulty will increase as the game progresses.

What really made me give this game 5 stars is the story line and animation. I appreciate the slow pace of the game as well. This game does require a certain adult mind set to appreciate. I would not get this game for children. Not that I’ve found any content objectionable, it’s just they won’t be able to keep interested.

Enjoyable game

I enjoyed this puzzle adventure game. It is a peaceful ride and emotionally evocative.

This is so beautiful! 🥲

The work that has gone into this game is incredible - not just the stuff you have to figure out, which is fun but the concept, the art work (outstanding) and the accompanying music. The storyline is poignant and heart warming. A perfect game to relax to. I will certainly play it more than once just to enjoy it again. Congrats to all involved in making this!

Brilliantly soothing

This game was amazing for me when I had anxiety during the pandemic, it was one of the few things that really made me feel calm and gave me an escape. I get the sense that anything less than 5 stars are from people wanting a little more excitement or stimulation, but if you just want to relax and be taken away, then this is it. Truly wonderful experience.

Can’t reset progress!

It’s absolutely ridiculous that there is no option to reset your progress in the game. So many games have this (eg. Monument Valley). Without it, you can accidentally skip ahead or forget which part of the game you’re up to! Seriously guys…This needs an update. I LOVE the game but this puts me off replaying it.

Beautiful+ emotional

I would give this 4.5 stars but if you round it up it’s pretty much 5. Anyway this is a beautiful story and it sort of makes the player think what’s happening. Every so often a memory of the old man comes and you get to know more about him. This is a good game if you like beautiful and emotional games but if your more into action then this might not be for you, but personally I loved it!

Heartfelt story and beautiful artwork

If you are looking for a story based puzzle platformer that takes you on a journey, this is for you. It’s more of an experience than a game. It is less challenging than satisfying. It won’t take you long to complete but it will stick with you long after it’s over. Looking forward to more games like this. Seamless gameplay experience with no bugs that distract from the wonderful visuals.

Gentle puzzle with a nostalgic tone.

Just hard enough puzzles to solve with treats along the way. Nice story arc!

Accessible and Intriguing

Divided up into quick chapters, perfect for waiting for your coffee or the tube.

Seemingly easy mechanic but does get rewardingly difficult - Id press every button and only really figure it out by chance, but I still felt satisfied to complete. Though I have NO CLUE still about the sheep mechanics 😂

Wish you could save each postcard at the end of the levels so you could watch them all in one go to remind yourself of how the story is developing.

One of the very finest games I have ever played

Hauntingly beautiful, both visually and spiritually, and deeply moving. I was more than a little choked up by the end. A game I will never forget. The wonderful story - told through the gorgeous illustrations and lovely musical score, without words - is the heart of the game. But this game is also highly creative and original - and challenging and lots of fun - purely as a game. It really creates its own category, what I would call “reverse parkour adventure.” I really can’t find the words to praise this game highly enough. Buy it and play it. You will love it and you will never forget it.
