### 4/5 — Another great Cotton Game…but can the launch credits be skipped?

*2026-04-17*

I love all of Cotton Games but this one really needs an update to allow you to skip all the launch warnings and logo animation. It’s fine the first time. But every time I launch the game? Just let me skip it. Otherwise, it’s another fun Cotton game (I love them). The puzzles are a little different and can be challenging. There are a few situations that seem random (why did I give the star to that character?), and what’s with the bird? I never figured out the mailbox puzzle and still finished the game so is there a significance to the mailbox? I’m looking forward to more games, thanks!

### 3/5 — Nice game but cannot finish please fix

*2026-02-04*

But cannot collect all pills so cannot finish game have tried 2 times, please please fix

### 3/5 — .

*2025-12-06*

Первая часть намного интереснее

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2025-11-10*

Cotton games have the best artwork and so much potential to be great. But I’m tired of getting part way through their games and giving up out of frustration. Sadly, I won’t be playing anymore Cotton games unless they start including a hint system and a skip button on the mini games.

### 3/5 — 영어 플레이시 텍스트 사라짐 현상 오류

*2025-11-09*

특히 영어로 플레이할때 게임상의 텍스트가 모두 사라지는걸 플레이하면서 여러번 경험랬습니다. 스크린샷 비디오를 찍었는데 어떻게하면 도움을 들릴수있나요?
앱내에서나 공식홈페이지에서 따로받는데는 찾지못했어요

### 3/5 — わかりにくい

*2025-11-09*

cottongameさんにはいつも楽しませて頂いています。

今回は、他の方も書いてますが、キャラの扱いの統一性がないのと、アイテムの使いどころがわかりづらくイラっとします。walkthrough動画を見ないと、可能性ばかり探って永遠に終わらないところでした。

次回作に期待してます！

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2025-11-01*

I love most of the Cotton Games stuff, and whilst this is still a beautiful game with excellent graphics and sound, it really does miss the mark in terms of puzzles. Many are solvable, a lot of the game is really fun, but some puzzles are really obtuse with no real clue as to how or why the solution makes any sense. Weird is good but there has to be some sort of narrative sense and in many areas this is lacking.

The end of the game is also very irritating - having solved all the puzzles (some by trial and error as they made no sense) I had no idea that the final medal would be gained by solving one of the puzzles for a second time. I was wandering around for a long time wondering what I’d missed.

It’s a very good looking game but seriously flawed and quite annoying.

### 3/5 — いつも通り楽しかったけど。

*2025-10-29*

ちょい、オーラスらへんがモヤモヤ。これは非常に残念。先ず、エンディングを迎える為の、とある最終アイテムを入手する場所があそこというのは納得がいかない。そう言うシステムだと思っていないので全く気づかなかった。それまで全自力で攻略したのに、最後の最後でどれだけ探索してももうやる事がわからなかったのでそこだけウォークスルー動画に頼ってしまい、プレイ体験が台無しになってしまった。あと、一部のキャラクターが”昇天”させられないのもなんかスッキリしない。

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-10-28*

So glad this game was re-released and the save points fixed as it is a fantastic game. I’ve just finished…..that ending!……🥹 
I loved the puzzles. The characters and gameplay was pure perfection. I managed all achievements but 1 and I’m not sure what the pumpkin ticket is for but I’m sure il work I out on replay. Thank you Cotton games for being my favourite developers and for your consistent excellence. A huge 5 stars well deserved, buy this excellent game.

### 5/5 — It opens now!

*2025-10-27*

I’m editing this review because the black screen error has been fixed and I’m excited to finally play! It looks beautiful as always.

### 5/5 — 출시만 기다리다가

*2025-10-26*

오류나고 아예 사라져서 인터넷 검색해보고 트위터에서 찾아보고 어플도 못 지우고 오매불망 기다림..돌아와서 좋네요

### 5/5 — Alles funktioniert!

*2025-10-23*

Früher erwähnte Mängel sind offensichtlich behoben und das Spiel läuft reibungslos . Auch dies cottongames Produkt hält den Standard aufrecht, auch wenn ich den ersten Teil besser fand. Das Ende jedoch mag dies erklären.. alles in allem sein Geld wert.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t load

*2025-10-23*

Works great until you have to close the app and never loads again. Doesn’t save where you were either. Have to full delete and redownload and pray it starts working. Great game tho as far as I’ve gotten.

### 5/5 — 이제한국어지원됨

*2025-10-23*

따쉬 ㅜㅜㅜ 한국어로 읽으니까 더슬프잖아

### 5/5 — Gorgeous

*2025-10-21*

Perfect level of difficulty and such a bittersweet ending. Loved this.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2025-10-21*

Initially the game had a bug and they finally fixed it. It works flawlessly. Beautiful and original puzzle game.

### 5/5 — cottonさん大好き

*2025-10-18*

【追記】
お待ちしておりました！ゲーマーの臭覚でしょうか？何気なくストアを検索したらアップされた日で、テンションが上がってノールックで課金してた😆
じっくり楽しみたいのに探究心が勝って即日エンディング迎えてしまい、、(リワードは緩めのようで周回なくコンプになっていました)時間をおいて再プレイしたいです。
再会、おなじみの彼と、きゃるん👀とした子がかわいかった…！飼いたい！！飼わせてほしい！！！
ワープ機能、ありがとうございました！とても便利で楽しかったです。
切なさに希望に、感情が大渋滞です。
素敵な続編を多謝💓🙌

〜〜プレイヤー向け注意点〜〜
⚠️【心臓の悪い方、メンタルの弱い方はご注意ください】との記載あり。
リアルな虫は薄目&ミュートで駆け抜けました笑🥹
個人的に、上記の仕草がかわいい子に会ってほしいので、未プレイの方は最後までプレイしてほしいです👀

残り1体でだいぶ彷徨ったのですが、画面を明るくすると分かりやすくなるのでよければ参考に。

ーーーーーーーー
9/2 再開すると真っ暗になるからインストアンインストくりかえし初めからになるけど、待ちきれず4回やり直し😂
中英から日本語にも対応してくださり嬉しいです(文字化けはあっても脳内補正できる)！修正完了して進めるようになったら改めてレビューします。
今の所、期待をこめて★3

### 1/5 — Не прошла оплата

*2026-07-13*

Оплатила игру, оплата прошла, а продолжать игру не дает…..

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, мы глубоко извиняемся за неудобства, которые вы испытываете. Вы можете попробовать нажать кнопку восстановления, чтобы решить эту проблему.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-11-09*

The last pill is missing on IPAD pro. Impossible to finish the game cause you cannot get the picture. This is not serious.

### 1/5 — Had to pay twice

*2025-10-19, version 1.0.3*

Says it all. Still flawed

### 1/5 — 게임이 갑자기 사라졌어요

*2025-09-24*

어플 자체가 삭제되었는데 환불은 어떻게받죠?

### 1/5 — 나갔다오면 화면 인나옴

*2025-09-09*

재밌는데 하다가 나갔다오면 검게 변함 이어서 할수가 없음

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-09-08*

Nachdem Start wurde der Bildschirm schwarz und reagierte nicht mehr. Das hat sich nach einem Neustart des Spieles nicht mehr geändert.

### 1/5 — 一回消すと次は真っ暗画面に

*2025-09-07*

残念

### 1/5 — Same as the others….

*2025-09-06*

….with the black screen after closing the game and trying to open it again. Hard to believe this hasn’t been fixed yet but maybe there are reasons we don’t know about? (Referring to the review from another player.) But I can’t say I loved the part I did get to play. It was mostly minigames and I didn’t really enjoy them. They were unclear and didn’t work as flawlessly as they should which made them frustrating. While the artwork looks like the cottongames we’ve come to love, the game didn’t seem as much fun to play. But then again, I didn’t get to play very much of it.

### 1/5 — Game won’t open

*2025-09-04, version 1.0*

The game opened for me the 1st day. Now, it won’t at all. Just get a black screen.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-09-04*

Can’t reopen the app after closing it once. (I don’t see any data in my phone logs being stored for the game). You can delete and reinstall this app, but you’ll have to start over.
Also when first launching the game, the language changes until it’s set in the game settings. If using English, there’s still a lot of text on the screen (walls in the game or at the footer of the screen) that are not in English.
There seems to be a bug with taking notes as well. If you change the screen size in the game settings, when you draw in notes it’s completely off.

### 5/5 — Great game!!!

*2026-08-10*

Enjoyed the game!!! The puzzles were challenging and the story ending was sad at first and then joyful at the end. I liked the history from those portraits about the VR and computers in general. This game is awesome and I give it 100 stars!!!

### 5/5 — Hidden gem! Way underrated, amazing game…sorry took me this long to find.

*2026-07-01*

Wow! Truly a great story to image how you will. My interpretation and mine alone is doing everything you can for your son to ensure he’s prepared for the challenges and [world] “monsters” we as fathers have overcome.  Oh and No bugs, no issues..

### 5/5 — Touching surprise ending

*2026-04-27*

Make sure you play this game all the way to the end. Not many games have a memorable story. This one does.

### 5/5 — Best yet

*2026-03-07*

I absolutely love these games and this has been my favourite so far. Puzzles make you think without being so abstract that you’re stumped. My only complaint is that they don’t make new ones fast enough!

### 5/5 — I love every moments of the game

*2026-02-08*

The game touched my heart. The story aligned to the original part which is very interesting. Hopefully therr will be part 3

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-12-20*

Jeu vraiment au top ! Une fois de plus, Cotton Game nous propose un jeu poétique et plein de charme. Les énigmes sont bien pensées, le design est superbe et on prend un vrai plaisir du début à la fin. Un incontournable pour les fans.

### 5/5 — Cotton Games = awesome

*2025-12-16*

These are my favorite, FAVORITE games, by far. This one is strange and wonderful. The animation style makes me so happy. The creepy details in this one were fun. I was disappointed with the male-centric portraits - why not include Ada Lovelace, Ursula Le Guin, Mary Shelley, Octavia Butler… or simulation-specific: Karin Tidbeck, Amy Plum, Dawn Metcalf, Stephanie Diaz, Tanith Lee, Yasutaka Tsutsui…

### 5/5 — いつもの世界観

*2025-12-13*

待ってました。
isolandからずっと続く独特の世界観と不思議なストーリー。ツッコミどころや分かりにくさはいくつもあるけれど、それを許容してこそ楽しめます。
ラストの切なさに感動し、なんとも言えない後味が残る良作だと思います。ハマらない人にはハマらないだろうけど。。

### 5/5 — Bravo

*2025-11-09*

Suite du jeux toujours dans le même esprit de casse tête absolument comme on l’attendait bravo vivement un suivant

### 5/5 — Update!

*2025-11-02*

Now that the black screen issue has been fixed, you can expect another great title from these devs. Has all the ingredients that you would expect: awesome hand-drawn style, layered puzzles that may be tricky at times, and a cast full of characters in need of certain things. I made it through without hints over a few days of playing, so I felt the game was long. As far as difficulty, it’s not incredibly hard and everything is certainly solvable, but pairing some of the items with the characters didn’t totally make sense to me (some characters will accept multiple items which I found a bit confusing since you may think that you’ve completed that specific task). All in, the game was fantastic and I look forward to the next one!
