Lol I hope i can give it 0 star but i can’t.

Basically speaking, i dislike, or i hate the idea in this game that you need to kill yourself and make your 3 dead bodies to pass levels. Also the BGM sounds very very strange too, with the body idea.

I don’t think this kind of “Killing yourself and use your own body(that means you are immortal somehow) is a very balanced or psychologically healthy or appropriate idea for people especially the underaged kids or teens.

As a normal adult, I cannot accept it, the body thing.

Well thanks for the review and your feelings. Games have many subjects, and everyone have different feelings about it. Hope you will find a puzzle game that find your own sensitivity. Best

Loved it, great levels, new tricks to solve.

Great puzzler!

A great little jewel of a game. Great concept and good puzzles- definitely worth the money. Same idea as Lara Croft Go, but with some really fun twists.
My only issue was that I had some levels that I couldn’t access. There were some blank boxes on the level menu that I couldn’t get to, even though I had beaten the levels before them, and I could never figure out why I had dots on some levels of worlds but not others. The mystery is driving me nuts, so please address this, devs!
Update:Where is Demeter’s Dream? I cannot for the life of me find the update! I really want to play it but updating the app didn’t show it. help!
And another update: Thanks so much! Happily playing Demeter’s Dream! You guys rock- although that was seriously hard to find.
And another update: it says there are new levels, but again I can’t find them! I’ve completed all levels, but no new levels anywhere! HELP!

Hi, thanks for playing ! You can access the Demeter content by clicking on the flower in the main Persephone menu. The add-On is playable only if you have completed the original game, though. (So if you don’t see the flower but a spike bud that mean you must complete Persephone first.) Concerning the new levels, they are two new chapters on the "Tales of Demeter" so you can access this content if you have done the two first chapter of "the tale of Demeter’.

Last level on world 3

The last level on world three is un-passable Please fix this issue I’m loving the game so far but I think this is a glitch as all the videos I’ve looked at are very slightly different

World 3 last level

Really loved the game so far, but I’m super stuck on the last level of world 3, I’ve looked through tons of video walkthroughs and only one other person has mentioned this different version that adds an extra ice brick and basically makes it impossible to solve, the way everyone else can solve the original/better version of the level!
Would really appreciate some help or maybe an update to fix the level as I would really love to continue playing the game!!

Great game

Bought this game because it seems to have support and updates from the developers so please do t let us down in the future, also love the fact that there are no ads or in game purchases, keep it up guys !!

Really enjoying it so far...

If you like the Monument Valley games, Mekorama, Lara Croft Go!, Turn Undead and so on, well, here’s another one for that list.

The gimmick mechanic for this one (I mean gimmick in the nicest way) is that you’re immortal. In most games you’re effectively immortal anyway; you die and ‘come back to life’ when you restart, so what’s the big deal? Well in a practical sense it just means that when you die and respawn, your old body is still on the play area, which you can litter with as many of your old corpses as you like. So when you respawn you can kick your own corpse along and use it as a bridge, for example. Sounds very gruesome, but it isn’t at all because the cute graphic style you see here runs throughout the game. The looks are pastel-effect and very pretty. It would be palatable for kids.

There are pads on squares you can choose to respawn on by walking over them to light them up, and getting to the right ones will be necessary to finish certain levels. There are pads which raise blocks, too. New pads and blocks with other functions pop up as the game progresses, which not only increases the complexity but keeps gameplay fresh.

It starts off gently and the learning curve is nicely paced. The pleasant atmosphere means that although it becomes challenging to play, it doesn’t feel as frustrating as it might do otherwise, and you know you’ll get there in the end. Well worth the small amount they’re asking for it I reckon.

Fantastic!!!!

I usually don’t buy apps, but this one is SO worth it!!! Being a Greek mythology nerd, I couldn’t pass up a game called Persephone, and it didn’t disappoint! Everything about this game was beautiful. From the fascinating spin on being able to use your deaths to the perfect difficulty of the levels, Persephone is a masterpiece. My only problem with it is that it isn’t longer.

Great game

This is a great game. The design is beautiful, the concept is novel, charming, and well-executed. Level design is thoughtful. Most of the levels make you think but none of them are too hard, so it is a perfect relaxing puzzler. Easily a five-star game and well-worth the price.

Creative

Great game with a pretty creative concept !
