Leave a Review Old Man's Journey
Beautiful but ....
Beautiful but fundamentally dull - basically you adjust the sight line of hills so that a little old man can go from slope to slope and place to place. His journey is a reminiscence of moments and places where he once was happy before his life-partner died.
Not really a puzzle, or even a game, much more like watching your neighbour’s photos of a depressing holiday spot which you long ago decided never to visit.
It might be improved with a witty narrative by Alan Bennett; when he’s feeling full of vim, but if they can’t get Alan B then your life would probably be greater enhanced by embarking upon an in depth analysis of the Brexit negotiations. At least with Brexit you’d get a frisson of danger.Show lessEleanorQ
Great game to slow down with
In this fast paced world of hyper video games filled with violence and/or silly themes, this game was a pleasure to play. The pace was an unexpected surprise and welcomed. I enjoyed the hand drawn art which just made the game all the more pleasurable, know that so much care and heart went into the creation of it. I recommend it if you’re looking for a break from the norm.Show lessShawn from N.E. PA.
I’m stuck, and I’m annoyed
This game is artistically beautiful, but man is it glitchy. I’m playing on my iPad Pro, and on almost every screen I have to battle with the moving the landscape. A lot of the time the landscape will just bounce (but not move)- that will happen over and over no matter how I try to make the hills move up or down. Then all of a sudden I’ll be able to slide the landscape to where I want it. I’m currently stuck on a waterfall puzzle (just after the hot air balloon), and I’ve tried to move every inch of the landscape, but nothing moves to a position that will allow him to move from the ledge he’s on. I’m talking EVERY. SINGLE. INCH. There is no way for me to proceed. It’s not fun, it’s frustrating.Show lessMindieKaye
Developer Response
Sorry for the late reply, but your question slipped under our radar. All hills have limits of how far up or down they can be dragged. Once you try to move them over these limits they will bounce. So a bouncing hill means you've moved it farther than is allowed. Regarding you being stuck in the level with the hot air balloon maybe this video will help you get further: https://youtu.be/DooZ4GDjOHI?t=24. Best, FelixRelaxing
Nice game but... what did the letter say?!?!ObeckyMysticGirl
Old Man’s Journey
Definitely 100% worth the price. I am currently about to cry! This game was beautifully made. The music really brings out the emotions of the game and the design is purely flawless. I will definitely be replaying this game and showing it to my friends and family. I definitely recommend purchasing and playing this game!! Some people say it’s boring, but I love it. It just depends on your preference.Show lessBanana92114
Interactive art at its best!
I played the first half of this game on my own, and then my wife came and joined me. She was very sad at the end but said it was still beautiful - fun and intuitive gameplay for a couple of non-gamers, but still challenging enough to be enjoyable! The graphics are GORGEOUS.mme. bovary
LOVE
I love this “game”. I wanted something fairly easy to play when I was just trying to take a break from everyday worry. Not too easy and mindless like candy crush though. I wanted something that uses your brain a bit, but not really difficult. This was perfect! I LOVE how beautiful it is and the awesome story that goes with it. One of my all time fav games. LOVE THE ENDING. Thank you!Show lessasacrowflies

I downloaded this game a little while ago & have absolutely enjoyed playing through to the end. The graphics are stunning as is the story. The challenge for each chapter can differ in difficulty. My granddaughter & I have each played the game and thoroughly enjoyed trying to outdo the other. Well worth playing, cannot wait for the next game to be out there.Show lessPam JIS
