always worth a replay
i play this game once a year minimum. it’s one of my touchstones in this life, along with bird alone. i wish the creator would make more games. thank you for these ones.
Special
A beautiful, empathetic, meditative game. If you struggle with depression be warned there are different endings depending on your actions, some of which will really help your depression and others which may trigger it to feel worse. It’s a sensitive, philosophical and emotional experience, so if you feel there’s any chance it could trigger you I recommend playing it with a friend or watching a playthrough and reading about it before going ahead.

Gorgeous
What a beautiful story. I very much loved this game, very relaxing and calming. The one thing I wish it had was opposing dialogues though, a lot of what the character dialogue choices meant the same thing. Which is probably staying true to the character but doesn’t give much creative liberty to the person putting themselves in the characters shoes. For instance I would have continued to stargazing scene for longer. Or with the badger, it was a good lesson, I just wish the character would have fully been able to change her mind about the badger. Great game though, beautiful art and a nice pace. It was nice how we could pause the game.

Underrated
I’ve had this game installed on my phone for many years. It’s an old comfort of mine to play through the story every now and again. The art style is beautiful, and the game truly stands out from what you’d usually find on the App Store. It deserves more attention than what it got and I hope the developers have gone in to make more lovely games

Beutiful
It was very sad
Beautiful and Healing
Enjoyed the story line and lessons within.
Not sure
Neat concept but the story drags way too long, the dialog is poorly written and philosophical concepts are underwhelming.
Not bad if the app was free, but not worth paying for.

Quite a lovely game
You can tell alot of love and hardwork went into this game and the message feels so genuine and freeing ~
Not bad.
It’s poetic and lovely, but I couldn’t help thinking there should be a bit more to it.
Thought provoking and peaceful
I enjoyed this and felt completely immersed whilst playing. I say ‘playing’ for want of another word, as this is not so much a game but an experience. It’s a beautifully made, gentle and thoughtful story that is cleverly affected by the choices made throughout. I loved the style of graphics which I thought were perfect; not too much going on to detract from the experience, and beautifully artistic and dreamy. If you’re looking for something different to help unwind, shut out the noise of life and lose yourself for a short time then give it a try.

Great game!
Love this game! Been playing it on and off throughout the pandemic, okay mostly not playing it, though I have a game on my phone and another on my iPad for the subtle differences. It’s a great distraction and I feel a little bit better after 15 minutes or so.
Not much to it
Not much of a story. If you like a lot of pseudo-philosophical interactions, think Star Wars Jedi type stuff, then this is the app for you.
Many adventure story apps use visual and written media to tell a story and allow the user to interact. This doesn’t. Single scene. Rudimentary graphics. Dialog balloons. No real advancement of a story. Same ocean background sound the whole time too. Really not much here. Too bad because the description makes it seem like it will be thought provoking and interesting. It is neither.
It also is a major battery drain for some reason. It pulls current like no other app I have seen. And it isn’t even a fast action game with physics.
Severely overpriced for what it is.

Most boring game ever played
This was really the most boring game I ever played... no, wait: endured. Pseudo-philosophical rubbish issued by a stag, no action or story at all. The graphics are nice and very static, and staring at basically the same picture for over an hour is demanding.
Stay away....
Stay away....
This game gave me an existential crisis
Got free therapy from a deer who cured my depression. Thanks
Too slow, even for a narrative game
I usually love narrative games, but this was like listening to a long monologue about existence from someone who loves the sound of their own voice with no opportunity to contribute to the narrative. The protagonist dialog choices were all throw-away lines, so the point really does seem to be to read someone else's stream of consciousness writing. And after half an hour of playing it, I don't feel like anything developed or moved forward. It gets two stars for being really pretty, and for being a neat idea that was just poorly executed in my opinion.

For cutesy people
It’s a beautiful design but the story is trying to be deep and just ends up sounding so annoying, like it was written by a kawaii girl, that lived a protected life and now is trying to be relatable. If this weren’t so aggravating, I would be playing another round to see if your choices actually matter in the in a story-based game, but man. The dialogue and the wording is terrible. But the looks are great, gotta give it to them.

A game I’ll always remember
What a wonderful experience, very deep and thoughtful, I only wish it would last longer, but that is a non issue. Buy this game and reward yourself... memorable for sure ...
Amazing immersion
Amazing game, amazing soundtrack. The dialogue is thoughtful, real, emotional and made me feel immersed in the game at all times. Could not recommend enough and I’m going to play again for sure.
Worth it
I also have clinical depression and anxiety, so my answers tended to reflect that, but I enjoyed the outcome. I felt it was beautiful and fitting. That’s just me, but I wanted to add that for anyone that was worried about downloading this. It’s definitely not the happiest experience, but I cried and felt less alone afterwards.

Far From Noise is Elegantly Beautiful
Let’s start by saying that this game is mesmerizing. A positively excellent story game with stunning visuals provided most games with impressive visuals tend to lag, this game is designed on simplicity, but using it to their full advantage. The story was longer that I thought; thinking this was going to be a two minute experience, I was a blown away by the length. The concept of you and a deer exchanging dialog about life and death and the meaning and value of things is brilliantly executed. Far From Noise displays a captivating story with thoughtful writing and really gets the player to stop and think, it’s calming music adds so much to the world and I would not play this game without headphones. This game is perfect for what it is and if you’re looking for a truly mesmerizing story, trust me, it’s well worth the money.
