### 5/5 — Histoire poétique

*2026-03-31, version 2.0*

C’est un jeu paisible et calme, avec des niveaux un peu simple parfois mais l’histoire est tellement belle qu’elle rend le jeu entraînant. Je l’ai terminé assez rapidement, mais ça valait le coup (et le coût). La narration est top, continuez comme ça !

### 5/5 — I’m on level 1992 so far :)

*2025-07-04*

It’s a soothing game and I love the animations and all the attention to detail on the main screen. Right down to the language selection feature with its cute globe and drawings. 

I’m looking forward to seeing a credits sequence at the end. One of the reviews mentioned credits, but I don’t see any yet :)). 

Have a great day! And thanks for reading my review.

### 1/5 — Dreadful and boring

*2025-04-14*

Cannot believe this was made by Cotton Games as I normally love their games. Dreadful, repetitive and extremely boring. Don’t believe the hype, it is vary, very poor.

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2025-01-31, version 2.0*

This is a short but beautiful game. I think the message is better than the game itself. Spoiler alert: it’s about time.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and challenging

*2024-05-13*

This is a beautiful game with a bittersweet story and lovely artwork and music. The puzzles start simple and become more interesting and challenging. Looking forward to the next one.

### 5/5 — Profoundly beautiful game

*2023-12-30*

Subtle, gentle and soothing.  Take ît like a meditation and poem and read the credits <3

### 2/5 — Disappointing.

*2023-04-23*

Very repetitive, the same thing over and over again, sorry cotton games  just is a bit boring….

### 4/5 — 可圈可点

*2023-01-28*

一直是胖布丁出什么买什么，这个简单清新的小游戏，美术和音乐和效果都大爱，同样觉得剧情可以再提升，中间长时间等待的各种环境季节变迁描写过长了，虽然就是要体现漫长，但是这种显得冗长又结构繁复略带混乱的方式真的是最优解吗？提升空间非常大，剧情也是，可以有更抓人带入的细节描写，人物塑造都不够饱满，可以有贯穿整个故事给人回味的一个小物件或者一件事之类的线索，希望你们越来越好，带给我们更多用心的小游戏么么

### 1/5 — つまらん

*2022-05-24*

延々とイライラする絵合わせパズルみたいなのをやらされる。もっと何か謎解きや脱出ゲーム系のカラクリがあると思ったら、まさかの絵合わせパズルだけだった。このデベロッパーの他のゲームが気に入って、似たようなのかなと思って有料で買って失敗

### 5/5 — Heartbreaking and Heartwarming

*2022-04-04*

Absolutely beautiful, such a cleverly structured story where you unravel the story as you complete the puzzles. The puzzles are similar to the sliding tiles type games but it’s executed in such a brilliant way that I never found it boring. The story nearly brought me to tears but the ending is lovely. Another Cotton gem, these guys are the best at what they do.
