### 2/5 — Idee gut, Umsetzung naja

*2025-09-13*

Tolle Idee, tolle Themen, aber die Dialogoptionen sind irgendwie sehr klischeehaft, merkwürdig und unnatürlich. Hat mir den Spielspaß leider verdorben.

### 3/5 — (Almost) there! Literally so close… 😞🤧

*2024-01-14*

This game is an extremely slow burner. If you go along with the actual days that it makes you wait. I found out online that there are 19 possible different endings and I don’t have the energy to do so but the ending that I got wasn’t satisfactory you play for a long time and it kinda just like sizzles out like a sparkler it’s not really worth the hype. I don’t think unless you get a good ending I guess I just didn’t but I tried my best and things were just not as awesome as I thought the ending would be.

### 4/5 — Émouvant et addictif

*2021-05-13, version 1.8*

Maintenant que j’ai fini le jeu, Nour me manque ! J’ai été bouleversé lors d’une première fin tragique, puis j’ai recommencé le jeu et j’ai alors été très ému lorsque j’ai obtenu une fin plus positive. Je me suis surpris à parler de Nour à mon entourage, et à apprécier ses petits messages. J’ai l’impression qu’elle existe... Bravo et merci aux développeurs!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-04-26*

It gives awareness to imagination and migration

### 3/5 — Glitchy and no longer opens

*2020-11-28*

I’ve been playing and enjoying this interactive novel but suddenly I can no longer start it up. It immediately crashes. I’m on iOS 14.2 on a XS Max. Things were going okay and now it just refuses to open. Before this I noticed a ton of crashes when using the map feature, and sometimes the text messages would get jittery, weirdly space out, or go missing altogether. The real time functionality is inconsistent too, as are the notifications. 

This really needs to get sorted out because it’s a lovely and important story many need to hear.

### 4/5 — Error iOS 14.2

*2020-11-22, version 1.7*

Después de la actualización a la versión 14.2 de iOS en iPhone, el juego se cierra en automático y no me permite jugarlo. 

Espero que puedan arreglar el problema pronto.😩

### 4/5 — Chouette mais plein de bugs

*2020-11-08*

L’application crash régulièrement quand on va sur la carte ou quand on essaie de remonter les messages. Dommage car c’est bien écrit.

### 3/5 — Recording won’t play

*2020-10-10, version 1.6*

I liked this game and the story but my end recording won’t play

### 3/5 — Jeu incompatible avec le lecteur d’écran VoiceOver

*2020-09-16*

Je trouve le concept excellent, et après avoir lu que ce jeu est construit sur un échange de SMS, j’espérais que le graphisme serait accessoire par rapport au texte, un peu comme dans le jeu d’aventure Lifeline dans un tout autre registre, et que je pourrai suivre l’essentiel des dialogues et interagir , même en étant aveugle.

Malheureusement, une fois que j’ai accepté les notifications, VoiceOver  reste désespérément muet :  l’interface du jeu semble  inaccessible. Dommage !

### 5/5 — Yes

*2020-07-20, version 1.6*

10/10

### 5/5 — Great game but with a serious bug

*2020-07-09*

Have loved this game for years. Recently the game crashes when you click on city names on the map. Thanks for making this game!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-06-25*

This app is absolutely amazing. I 100% recommend it for people who are looking for a story, as well as a “roleplay” feature - amazing app.

### 5/5 — So Fantastic

*2020-06-17*

I got this game after hearing from gloom about it.
I got it to see if it was really as good as it sounded and I couldn’t believe how good it is!
This game definitely deserves 5 Stars.

### 3/5 — Great text story but glitchy

*2020-06-15*

It’s a nice story but kinda glitchy. Sometimes it won’t let me listen to voice recordings and it spasms every time I try to scroll through past conversations. Please update these glitches!!! I want to be able to play this game smoothly 🥺 also I would like to have a history of all the endings I’ve gotten so far, I think it would be cool.

### 5/5 — beautiful.

*2020-06-12, version 1.6*

this game is amazing, just like i thought it would be.

### 5/5 — Love this story SO much!

*2020-05-04*

I love the story and how your decision actually effects the story and how beautiful the journey and everything is! I mean this must’ve taken AGES to create and it shows how much quality was put into. it all in all I wouldn’t change a thing

### 2/5 — Super glitchy

*2020-04-17*

I could have enjoyed this app if it weren’t for the glitches. If I tried to go back and read texts from previous days the screen would shake and flicker and glitch out and I could only read the last few texts from that day. Horrible bug that made my head hurt and super disappointing because I couldn’t refresh my memory on what happened since I was last on.

### 4/5 — Bien

*2020-03-31, version 1.6*

Très belle histoire mais très frustrant sur le game play. Pas bien pensé si vous arrivez assez loin dans l’histoire et pour un mauvais choix vous devez tout reprendre depuis le début. Au bout de la 3ème fois vous laissez tombé. C’est bien dommage de passer à côté de ça...

### 1/5 — assolutamente inaccessibile

*2020-07-01, version 1.6*

Sono un utente cieco, ma possiedo un'ottima padronanza nell'uso dell'iphone. Solitamente i giochi testuali si scorrono bene utilizzando il voiceover, ma questo è l'eccezionealla regola: tocco lo schermo e l'unico feedback è un suono che significa "pagina vuota` è assolutamente ingestibile, al 100 per cento. 8° perso 4 euro. Ora chiederò il rimborso. A tutti gli utenti non vedenti, non scaricatela, è una presa in giro. La cosa che mi fa rabbia è che esiste un'infinità di giochi, ma quasi nessuno è accessibile. noi ciechi siamo messi nella nicchia. non è una critica distruttiva, sono i fatti.

### 1/5 — Nicht barrierefrei, damit am Thema vorbei entwickelt

*2020-05-17*

Leider wurde bei der Entwicklung auf blinde Spieler keine Rücksicht genommen, so dass das Spiel mit VoiceOver nicht spielbar ist. Bei einem Thema, das so viel mit kulturellen und nationalen Barrieren zu tun hat, die Barrierefreiheit mit Füßen zu treten, zeugt von einem gravierenden Mangel an nötiger Sensibilität. Diesen Umstand nicht zu korrigieren, so dass er zwei Jahre nach ursprünglicher Kritik noch besteht, ist eine Geste des Hohns und der Verachtung, ganz abgesehen von ultraschlechter PR. Auf die erste Rezension, die das Problem beschreibt, wurde nicht einmal reagiert, womit der Entwickler sich in hohem Maße selbst offenbart, und zwar absolut nicht vorteilhaft. So reißt man keine Barrieren ein, sondern produziert nur einen schalen Beigeschmack um eine Idee herum, die so vielversprechend war.

### 1/5 — Technically is call reading a game

*2019-12-05, version 1.6*

It’s not actually a game, u pay to press a few keys and read the text that it will auto text back in most of the game, fix the bug it will crash and force out

### 1/5 — Error

*2019-12-03, version 1.6*

Always error, please fix the bug, this is a simple texting game

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-12-02, version 1.6*

The game will not even open for me, it’ll start to load and then the app will close out without even getting to the start screen

### 1/5 — No ending in iPad

*2019-11-03, version 1.6*

Wasn’t able to hear the ending, recording wouldn’t play

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2019-07-17, version 1.6*

It won’t even let me into the app

### 1/5 — Pérdida de plata

*2019-06-30, version 1.6*

Aburrido. Lo único qué haces durante todo el juego es poner “enviar” a un mensaje predeterminado.

### 1/5 — No ending!

*2019-06-01, version 1.6*

Spent hours playing this game, only for the audio that I think is supposed to reveal the ending doesn’t work! (Yes, I have my audio settings on.) Disappointed as this was an interesting game with a lot of potential, but I want to know how the story ends, and I’m not going to chance playing it again to see if it works differently the next time.

### 1/5 — Waste of my money!

*2019-05-19*

Nothing about this game was worth a dime. Should’ve been free. All I’m doing is reading messages and clicking on responses that I don’t even prefer, but have no other choice. The most boring game ever. Didn’t have a hint of brain stimulation. It’s just like eavesdropping on strangers’ conversation. All you’re doing is listening to them talk. Waste of time and money!

### 5/5 — Dark topic brought to a human level

*2025-11-14*

I really enjoyed this game and its creativity narrating, a horrible and tragic story in a very human way.
In the midst of political discussions about illegal migration we sometimes neglect that these are real, palpable experiences of human beings, and no matter what, we should all make an effort to never dehumanize.

### 5/5 — A work of art

*2024-10-19*

It really teaches you some valuable things about the world. So much more than a game. Certainly not a toy.

### 5/5 — Nour est arrivée saine et sauve!

*2024-06-03*

Super aventure de vie à travers ce récit de jeu. Merci je vais le rejouer car j’ai eu la grande chance d’une belle fin qui ne l’est malheureusement pas pour tous. ( oui je me suis prise complètement dans cette histoire)Les illustrations sont superbes en plus de caractères bien affirmés des personnages! Bravo

### 5/5 — Une perle rare

*2024-03-31*

Ce jeu est incroyable. Alors certes le game play est simple et on est souvent réduit à lire les échanges entre Nour et Majd, mais quand on sait le nombres de possibles qu’il existe, on se rend compte que le moindre petit choix peut avoir de grosses conséquences. Le jeu est vraiment bien fait, dans la finesse, ce qui le rend d’autant plus prenant. Le joueur est catapulté dans la peau de Majd : on s’inquiète de ne pas recevoir de message, on se sent impuissant… C’est aussi prenant qu’un bon livre, sauf que parfois il faut attendre avant d’avoir le chapitre suivant, tout en ne sachant pas s’il y en aura un… C’est merveilleusement bien fait.
Au delà de cela, le jeu nous plonge dans la réalité des migrants et nous ouvre les yeux sur leurs conditions de vie… Cela amène à se poser des questions et cela pousse à faire quelques recherches… Merci pour ce jeu, merci d’en avoir eu l’idée et de l’avoir fait ! Je ne peux que conseiller d’y jouer ! 3€ pour un jeu de cette qualité ce n’est pas grand chose, il en vaut largement plus ! :)

### 5/5 — Masterpiece

*2023-12-19*

Masterpiece of a game!

### 5/5 — Remarquable

*2023-10-22, version 1.8*

Excellente application qui nous entraîne dans une histoire passionnante. C’est simple, mais bon, bien meilleur que beaucoup de jeux ultra compliqués.

### 5/5 — Adorable

*2022-09-12*

I love the story, art and characters all these factors make this game amazing!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2022-02-27*

Just a gorgeous game

### 5/5 — Incroyable !!

*2021-12-06, version 1.8*

Un web-documentaire réalisé avec succès !

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2021-06-03*

Ich habe das Spiel auf Switch und IPhone gekauft und gespielt. Leider hat die IPhone Version keinen Ton bei mir.
Ich habe das Spiel bisher immer auf der höchsten Schnelligkeit gespielt, damit ich schnell vorankomme.
Ich wünsche mir zudem noch ein paar Hinweise für alle Versionen durch Achievemrnts um alle Enden leichter zu finden.
