Love it

I love the game and how the story progresses and the ending also leaves the player some unanswered questions. The only thing I can complain about is that it the game is too short and not enough chapters for me. No idea why people are complaining about ads because I didn’t see any ads.

Gorgeous!

This game is absolutely stunning, beautiful story, but short, worth its money but could have been a little longer considering I payed to play it but still, I never even expected that this would have such a outstanding ending and such beautiful scenery and stories. If I could I would give this game much more than just 5 stars! But still I stand my point and I believe it could have been just a bit longer, or even have a free play mode where you can just paint to your hearts content, however it never detracted from how awesome it is!

SOBBING

I’m crying. Literally. I had so many theories along the way, but that ending wasn’t it. I love it. I want to live this life. I like how you have some questions in the end, but they just make this better. This is one of those things that no sequel can mend the amount of love you have for something. I’ve never written a review before, but this game is too good not to. I am ever so thankful to the creators, and anyone how contributed to this work of art for that matter. I would highly recommend playing this game!

A game with great potential but comes short.

I like the story and the concept but the games downfall was it being too short to be worth 6 dollars. I had hoped for this to last me much longer than 10-15 minutes.
I got another one recently that lasted me 8- 15 hours longer of playtime and it only costed me a little more.
I hope the developers try to update the story or lower the cost of the game at least.
