### 4/5 — It's pretty I guess

*2025-03-08, version 1.14.06*

Hi I haven't bought the full game but it would be nice to see the price:)

### 3/5 — 不推荐

*2025-03-01*

这种画风是挺好的 但是还没玩多少就要收费 根本不懂这个游戏讲的是什么 好歹让人玩明白了在要钱…

### 5/5 — Stunning

*2025-02-23, version 1.14.06*

This game took my breath away. The beautiful graphics and audio whisked me back to childhood holidays in the Dordogne. Loved the characters and storyline too. Slighly glitchy in places but easily fixed by pausing and resuming. Many hours of play for just 3.99 was well worth it.

### 2/5 — Stuck in a bug

*2025-02-22*

Can’t find any support contact? Am in the market chapter and wandered into the pond scene and can’t get out. The back button doesn’t work. Can only take pictures but can’t move on. 

Update: they fixed that bug above but the controls are terrible for ipad. Am now stuck on a cliff. Clearly, no one bothered to test this port. A shame because it is beautiful, just nearly impossible to play.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are stuck at the river on the way to the market. This is a bug that has been reported to us and we are working on it to fix it.
In the meantime, we advise you to restart Chapter 3 or the game with "New Game" from the Menu to unblock yourself.

### 2/5 — Pretttyyy maddd

*2025-02-19*

Well I played the FREE version of this game. I’m pretty mad. I thought I was playing a game that I would like. I loved the story but now I can’t continue it. :(

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2025-02-15*

This is getting a lot of bad reviews for being glitchy (it is pretty glitchy with arm movements) but it hardly subtracted from the gameplay for me. I am NOT a gamer (and I also never write reviews!) and it sucked me in immediately. I loved the story and it has some of the best art I have ever seen in a game. The end brought me to tears. Give it a shot!

### 5/5 — 아름다워요

*2025-02-14*

풀버전을 구매해서 하진 않았지만 free trial을 했을땐 너무 조흥은 스토리와 그림체인것 같아요

### 3/5 — Beautiful artwork

*2025-02-12, version 1.14.06*

I like the beautiful watercolour artwork but not so much the functionality. It takes too much effort, so much effort, eg the screwdriver! Could be just me but I can’t get her to even walk forward to the door or anywhere!  So I quit. Yes I prefer instant response like in other games.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2025-02-12*

The “free” portion lasts maybe 5 minutes of game.  Hard to maneuver at first.  Didn’t buy it because I knew it’d be too short for the price.  The one star is because it’s nicely drawn or painted. .

### 2/5 — 🙎🏻‍♀️

*2025-02-12, version 1.14.06*

Saw 2.8 stars so downloaded for jokes.
Was playing the game and was kinda boring but the story seemed interesting and the art was beautiful. 
Was like what the flip why is it rated so low.
then as soon as the game started catching speed BOOM IT WAS ALL A FREE TRIAL LIKE ?!?!??
Don’t download unless u wanna pay £3.99 to play the full game.
I DONT GET WHY THEY DIDNT JUST MAKE THE GAME PAID IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT WAS SO ANNOYING. 
Crying now 
If the game was paid in the first place I would’ve got it but i am NOT PAYING FOR THAT OUT OF SPITE. 
Anyways the art is very nice so props to the artist.
