When Maria, a globe-trotting antique restorer, arrives in the sun-soaked town of Bellariva, she has no idea just how broken it will turn out to be. 

She wants nothing more than to help the town’s inhabitants save their most beloved possessions, but when it’s their personal lives that are starting to fracture, she’ll need to find a way to hold them together, one spare screw at a time.

### 5/5 — Amazing but sad it was short

*2026-08-01, version 1.11.142*

I love this game but it is pretty short. Its worth the price because its a very detailed game and very in-depth and amazing story line but I am sad it ended too soon :(

### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense

*2026-08-01, version 1.12.155*

Would’ve been nice if it was displayed as a demo before I bought the game and got into it

### 5/5 — Plzzz

*2026-07-29, version 1.12.155*

Make more games like this I love it!!!! Also way to short

### 3/5 — 最新iOSで起動できない

*2026-07-27*

昔プレイしてとても楽しかったので
またやりたくってダウンロードしたら起動できませんでした
最終更新が２年前ですから仕方ないですね
楽しみにしていただけにとっても残念😢

### 3/5 — Schönes Spiel, leider teuer

*2026-07-27*

Ich muss zuerst sagen, dass ich die Testversion gespielt habe und kurz davor war mir die Vollversion für 6,99€ zu holen. Dann habe ich gesehen, dass das Spiel aus 14 Kapiteln besteht, davon habe ich gerade in ca 15 Minuten 4 gespielt. Für 2 Stunden Spaß und quasi null Wiederspielwert ist das etwas überteuert, auch wenn es mir leid tut weil die Spielidee und auch die liebevolle Umsetzung mir sehr gefallen. Aber das Geld zu investieren würde sich eher wie eine Spende anfühlen denn wie ein Kauf. Wenn man von der geringen Komplexität der Reparaturen ausgeht würde man beim Kauf eher mal so 50 bis 100 zu reparierende Gegenstände erwarten. Sofern es keine wesentliche Erweiterung geben wird werde ich das Geld für sie Vollversion nicht investieren.

### 5/5 — Fantastic but too short

*2026-07-26, version 1.12.155*

The game is fantastic, I purchased the full game sat on the couch and got completely hooked. The game is very short though I really hope there is plans to add more to this in the future. I’d happily pay for the additional content.

### 3/5 — Cute but not worth 5.99$

*2026-07-24, version 1.12.155*

It’s fun in the sense you are repair objects but only 13 chapters and an epilogue and story. I don’t think it’s worth 5.99$ at all.

### 2/5 — It should be free again :( good game tho

*2026-07-23, version 1.12.155*

I don’t have 5 bucks I wish it was free again but it’s a good game but I miss the old days when It was a free game it’s fun but it just ends and is locked down by a paywall

### 2/5 — Ужас

*2026-07-21*

Играла 10 минут, потом просят 500 рублей за продолжение, а продолжение это еще 10 уровней и все

### 3/5 — Gutes spiel aber…

*2026-07-21*

Also an sich ist das Spiel mega und macht auch Spaß habe aber irgendwie mehr erwartet wenn ich 7€ ausgebe. Es ist wirklich schnell durchgespielt habe mehr level erwartet aber es kommen vielleicht noch mehr dann auch gerne 5 Sterne
