  • Does not start

    I have a iPad Pro large but this app does not start after a double click. It changes the screen to portrait and then dies. Refund please.

    Update: The developer has fixed this problem so I have changed t four stars.

    Developer Response

    This bug has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
  • Can’t figure this out at all. No instructions and everything is way to slow

    I hate playing games where there are no instructions- and other than being able to visit several static rooms - there seems little to manipulate here and the story is unfolding too slowly and in too many poorly worded ‘clues’ - it did not engage me at all.

    Adding more- I found a web site with suggestions that include listening to the music in different days and hours- ugh! final straw. Music is totally inane- can not bear to listen to any more of it- deleting game.

  • Pretty boring

    Whole thing looks pretty. That’s about it
  • I don’t get this game.

    It’s visually stunning and relaxing but I don’t know what the point of the game is. I just wonder around touching things that make noise...? There’s no explanation, no direction...just aimlessly going in circles making noise. I guess I’d like it more if there was a point.
  • Interactive story

    This isn’t like most games — it’s more of an interactive story that unfolds over time, literally. You have to open the app on each day of the week and at different times of the day to get each piece of the story. The graphics and soundtrack are lovely and aptly dreamlike, and the story is quite melancholy — this is a great “game” to open late at night before bed, or in quiet, meditative moments. All of the 1-star reviews were left by people looking for a different kind of experience and feeling disappointed when their expectations weren’t met, and they’re not really fair assessments of the app itself.

  • Beautiful, but there is no sound.

    Beautiful, but there is no sound.

    Edit: sound through headphones but not phone speaker. Odd, and inconvenient.
  • Nice, relaxing story app

    This app is a beautifully designed work of art. It’s a collection of intriguing memories meant to be patiently explored and pieced together into a whole story at the very end. I find this concept very relaxing and interesting at the same time.

    I think it would have been better if all the musical “toys” in the game, like the hanging cubes and the cool stuff in the observatory actually had a purpose to advance the story. I found myself going back and forth between them, trying to figure out what they were supposed to change in the game, only to find out later that they had no purpose except to be played with. I can forgive this because the app is so darn beautiful.

  • Literally worthless

    I just worked through this in 5 minutes. And I read everything. Is this a joke?
  • Not a game

    Would love my money back. This isn’t a game and seems a little pointless. I wasted £3.99 on this.

    The little button at the end of each text takes you to print mode and shows a little picture that I guess should go along with the text which seems really pointless, if it was deliberate I’m not sure why.

    Visuals are beautiful but I wish I didn’t just spend my money on what is essentially a story.
