  • Love it, but has a few problems

    I love the game so far, but it’s annoying that you have to pay to do new areas, and because of this I am having trouble getting to the sanctuary. Another problem is that most areas are blocked in areas I discovered before. The game says I don’t have to pay to get new areas in the forest, but even though I have it (and it’s the main region you start in, and already have) it does not let me go to certain areas. I’m also stuck in the moon forest, because there are no friends I can call that can dig up the maze area block. The game should have some free regions and maybe some more quests to choose from. Despite these difficulties, the game is amazing, but (maybe) misunderstood, and I hope the game gets better over time.
  • So much money!

    The game starts off free and it’s really good. The game lets you play for a while and then once you get to the end of the first part they make you pay for the rest of the game. Not only is each part about 5 dollars but there are six different parts! So for the whole game you’d eventually pay 30$! I think it’s ridiculous.

    Hello. "Ogu and the Secret Forest" is currently being sold on Steam (PC) at the same price. Over 30,000 players have already purchased the Steam package, and the average playtime is over 10 hours. The game offers more than 15 hours of gameplay to reach the normal ending, and over 30 hours to complete the final ending. We understand that refunds can be relatively difficult, so we've chosen this sales approach to allow more players to experience the game first. We hope you enjoy your adventure!
  • Looks great, doesn’t work

    I want to preface this by saying that I think the game looks amazing and I’m sure I would like it. That said, this game is not entirely transparent on its price. I understand that a full quality game like this shouldn't be free, but as it appears in the shop section of the menu, at least a good chunk of this game is locked behind individual five buck paywalls instead of simply charging 20-30 bucks for the game. The inapp purchases section is very low on the page, and I have yet to meet anyone who has ever looked at that stuff, as i downloaded the game without even checking that. That said, I’m not even sure how much of the game is available, as it crashes upon trying to load any file, new or otherwise. Still, this game looks worth the price, I just wish the makers were more upfront about the price (perhaps in the description) and that I could actually play any of it instead of being booted out.

  • Its good but expensive

    It says it's free but to unlock the whole game it's 25 dollars and I don't currently have that type of money.

  • My favorite game

    Wish I could spend $30 on it 😭
  • Crashes

    Looked like a fun game but kept crashing when starting a new game
  • Wow!!

    So far I love it!! And I don’t think that will change ..
  • best game ever!

    things i liked:

    - wonderful soundtrack / sfx
    - beautiful graphics
    - likeable characters
    - interesting and challenging puzzles
    - tons of side quests
    - free????

    sign me up

    (only wish there were hints sometimes lol)

    things to improve on:

    - i don’t know if this is a bug or not but sometimes i can’t read the signs 🪧 (i click on the eye button but it doesn’t do anything)

    - also if you try to equip a hat to the menu the game freezes and you have to go out and go back in for it to work again

    - wish that the journal / settings were easier to navigate too and that you could go to any location on the map (some locations are greyed out and i cant fast travel to them even if i’ve already unlocked them, not sure if this is intentional)

    - hints that can be bought with in-game currency! or general hints like ‘have you fully explored this location?’ or something

    but overall, amazing game! loving it so far 😊❤️
    thanks for this game, devs!
