### 5/5 — Amazing!

The game is so fun

### 5/5 — 推荐

*2026-07-29, version 1.0.5*

真的好玩 音乐也是非常牛逼 很推荐

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.5*

Florence helped me figure out that showing your feelings is good and to never do it again

### 2/5 — A Visually striking disappointment

*2026-05-23, version 1.0.5*

20 minutes into the game I found myself frustrated with the mini games throwing. I wish it had been a magazine instead. There’s no reason this exists except the hand drawn art. No regrets but even the art can’t be enjoyed without solving tens of ridiculously easy puzzles over and over and over. Very frustrating 😅

### 4/5 — Cute game

*2026-05-22, version 1.0.5*

Cute game but very short i believe it took me 45 min maybe less

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-05-16, version 1.0.5*

A good game but not worth all the hype and price for a short story

### 3/5 — Alright game but overpriced

*2026-05-06, version 1.0.5*

Was a good game however super short and definitely not worth £2.99

### 5/5 — Excepcional

*2026-05-06*

Não acreditei muito; porém ao decorrer do jogo me surpreendi com a narrativa. Parabéns aos criadores!!!

### 1/5 — Florence

*2026-03-27, version 1.0.5*

It’s really short,waste of money

### 5/5 — Les sentiments, le jeu de la vie

*2026-03-21*

Que rajouter de plus aux bons commentaires précédents ? Dire que le jeu est cher, vu le travail narratif et graphique fourni, je dirai « pas assez cher » ou « n’a pas de prix »… Je préfère me focaliser sur la bande son également.  Belle, tout simplement. Cette oeuvre un peu inclassable est poétique, touchante, tragique comme l’est si souvent notre pauvre vie ordinaire, humaine. Je me suis fait plaisir, j’ai acheté également la musique. Je suis Fan, merci Kevin Penkin, c’est une grande réussite, c’est grave, c’est délicat, la sarabande de la Vie.
