### 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.

### 3/5 — Great art, difficult control, weird story

*2025-02-04*

I love the art! I also appreciate how much effort the team put in to make different versions of translations subbing and dubbing. Game is also diverse. 
I hate the control, especially Mimi’s arm for brushing teeth and catching spoons, there are way too many movement controls and system is not precise enough for my finger sliding on the screen.
The story is simple but the game made it more complicated than it was. (Spoilers) I don’t understand why Mimi had no memory of the past until return, the accident didn’t seem like a big deal in the game, at least it didn’t seem to be so traumatizing that everyone avoids talking about it. I don’t understand why Fabrice hated Nora even after reading the letter, it alsodoesnt really make sense why he try so hard to keep Mimi away from the place. Nora weirdly have no risk education, she let Mimi go on mountain herself, Mimi slides down the cliff in the game, she let Mimi go buy stuffs herself despite there’s rumor of thieves, and the fact that Mimi went out on boat herself without supervision at her age proves problematic parenting.

### 2/5 — Stuck in a bug

*2025-02-02*

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. Please help!

**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 — Nice cozy story

*2025-02-02, version 1.14.05*

I love it when it is available for mobile.However,It has been a few lags like i cannot return or move and it stopped a few times throughout the game.For example,I was taking pictures but I cannot press the return button.Another one so far is during the hand movement underwater.I unfortunately cannot continue playing the game anymore since it is stuck till now.

### 3/5 — More direction

*2025-02-02*

Ive been playing the game for a bit, but I’ve been having a rough time with trying to figure out how to do some things in the game. Either there is no direction, arrows, or a caption to do it. Also, sometimes my game will glitch or get stuck, specifically when I was having her brush her teeth, her arm got stuck and i had to restart.

### 3/5 — Too slow for me

*2025-02-02*

I only stuck with it for 10 minutes, but I already know that this moves way too slow for my patience level. My phone kept going to sleep waiting for the slow paced dialogue. It seems more like a visual story than a game, but maybe there is more to do as it progresses. The artwork is beautiful and I’m sure it’s a great story, but I just don’t have the patience to find out.

### 2/5 — It's just a pay-per-view game

*2025-01-31, version 1.14.05*

You have to pay from the beginning of the game. If you don't pay, you can't proceed with the story. I erased this game right there.

### 2/5 — Just free for trial

*2025-01-31, version 1.14.05*

Didnt purchased

### 2/5 — It’s alright

*2025-01-30, version 1.14.05*

I like it but then you have to pay for the rest of the game which is rigged

### 3/5 — Beautiful, but cannot click continue after purchasing

*2025-01-30*

As in the title. Purchased the game and cannot click continue.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you have encountered some issues after your purchase. 
Updating the app to the newest version should solve your problem.

### 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. .

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-02-08*

Cannot get passed getting the spoons and knives in the water no matter what I do or how delicate I am.

### 1/5 — difficult to catch spoons and forks

*2025-02-02*

It’s difficult to catch spoons and forks in the river. When touching the phone screen, the character’s hand sometimes moves and sometimes doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s a system issue.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you have encountered issues with the cutlery game in the river. It was already reported to us. We realize players "self-block" by stretching the arms.
When an object is on the right, you must use the right hand. When an object is on the left, you must use the left hand. Most people try to collect the objects with the wrong hand, which causes the arm(s) to get stuck and creates this blocker.
By moving the hands on the objects "delicately" everything goes normally.
If you're stuck at this point, restarting this sequence from the Menu with the "Continue" button and simply manipulating the hands, you should be able to move on to the next step.

### 1/5 — Too short

*2025-01-30*

Free trial version is too short to know whether i really like it or not.

### 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.

### 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. :(

### 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.

### 2/5 — Don’t know what to do!

*2025-02-11*

Trying to make tea and nothing happens.. I lift the teapot up and now what? Nothing else to do.. I’m about to just give up.. poor controls, don’t understand the purpose of stickers and page creation cell phone messages..

### 2/5 — Sweet and beautiful, but…

*2025-02-04*

The app turns off my audio. If the choices are to listen to the game sounds, Total. Silence, or not playing, I’ll spend my time elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Dordogne

*2025-02-03, version 1.14.05*

Won’t let you purchase full game

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2025-01-31*

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

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2025-01-30*

Haven’t paid for the full game yet but the art style is beautiful and I can tell this is going to be a very nice storyline about a girl and her grandmother. 10/10 can’t wait to finish it.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-30*

Awesome gameplay, visual masterpiece. A lot of thought and efforts went into the game. Marvelous!

### 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:)

### 4/5 — I’m broke

*2025-02-08*

I got like 5 minutes into the game and I already have to pay for it TTvTT. More of a me issue than a game problem, but I wanted to play a bit more lol. It’s alright though because I already played it on Xbox, and loved it so it’s still a good game.

### 4/5 — Wish it wasn’t for pay

*2025-02-01, version 1.14.05*

A bit too emotional for me, pretty, but thanks though.

### 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…
