## What is Father and Son?

Start an exciting and timeless journey between Naples, Pompeii and Ancient Egypt, spanning different historical periods.
The adventure takes off from the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, a cultural institution housing some of humanity’s greatest artefacts and treasures.
What begins as the story of a son who never knew his father becomes a universal and ageless tale, with the present and the past making up the setting for Michael’s travels. Seek for yourself the beauties of Naples, experience the last hours of life in Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, and explore the ordinary day-to-day life in Ancient Egypt. The past is what makes our present real. 
Completion time: 50-60 minutes. Some sections are unlocked by checking in at the Archaeological Museum of Naples, publisher of the game.
The Father and Son Soundtrack is available for download on the official site.

### 5/5 — Life

*2026-04-19*

I played the game when I was in 3rd grade like maybe 9 or 10 years ago. I dint know what I understood. But I felt it. I I felt every emotion it conveyed. It was like it built something in me and that I already knew what it meant. I felt like I already knew what it was, but which was never there. What I felt was like something prebuilt in me just waiting for me to discover. It was so deep and rich that age and maturity didn’t matter. I wasn’t 7 when I played it. I was just me, it was just me. It had always stayed in my mind buried but fossilised into me lurking once in a while. What it felt like was only a few games that gave me the same. Now I finally find it and don’t know what to feel and to expect. It’s nostalgic. Might be the right word but it was definitely more than that. It was me.

### 5/5 — 好美…

*2026-01-27, version 1.5.1*

so beautiful…

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-09-22, version 1.5.1*

It was good blend of pure emotion and joy and best game ever i played in my life

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-09-10, version 1.5.1*

I went to the museum last week but idk what’s wrong with the GPS I can’t access the hidden section😭😭😭I’m still crying, is there any other way to access in? But good game tho I love it

### 3/5 — Annoying controls

*2025-06-25, version 1.5.1*

Why is the move button, the most used button in the absolute corner of the screen its an absolute chore to use it and incredibly hard to hold the phone using it, make it bigget, pther than than the game looks well drawn

### 5/5 — 很细腻也很难过的故事

*2024-12-03, version 1.5.1*

从2017年的那不勒斯，到公元前的庞贝，帧帧都是伤感的故事

### 2/5 — Pity it doesn’t work if you’re actually in the museum…

*2024-08-05, version 1.5.1*

I was actually at the MANN (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) when I downloaded and started playing the game. Right at the start it said it was checking the GPS to unlock parts of the game if I was in the museum… that didn’t work. I even tried using the museum’s WiFi. That didn’t help. The app never asked for permission to use the location services so it was likely due to a bug in the iOS version as I do have location services enabled.

Too bad.

### 4/5 — Красиво, однак занадто коротко

*2024-05-28, version 1.5.1*

Приємна гра з красивими візуальними рішеннями, однак дуже швидко закінчується й містить доволі мало безпосередньо самого ігроладу.

### 3/5 — Cool concept, bad execution

*2024-01-12, version 1.5.1*

I like the idea of the story, but unfortunately I can no longer move forward. I’ve gotten stuck at the part where the guy meets a girl after his last day in the museum. Unfortunately none of the mechanics previously shown are working to make him stand or move.

What I saw of the game was beautifully put together, though even if I could have played more (if I hadn’t gotten stuck), I wouldn’t have been able to play the whole thing. You have to actually visit the museum in Naples to complete the game, which is something most people financially cannot do unless they live in or near Naples (or at the very least in the same country).

Overall this game was very frustrating, because it had so much potential but fell short due to glitches and my inability to teleport.

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2023-08-22, version 1.5.1*

Simple but very polished. The story ,the music and the art style combine beautifully creating a gorgeous experience that made me cry a little at the end. One of the best games I've ever played!
