### 4/5 — Felt like a demo

*2025-06-22, version 1.5.6*

Shoulda been way longer it was barely a game just 1 chapter of it :(

### 4/5 — Homo machina

*2023-11-15*

J’ai bien aimer le jeu, dans l’ensemble tout est tout bon sauf la sauvegarde, des fois ils faut recommencer un niveau pour accéder à l’autre alors qu’on vient de le finir si on ferme l’application 
Je suis grave dégoûté qu’il y est peu de niveau, j’aurais aimer explorer d’autre partie du corp même si dans l’ensemble le graphisme est incroyable vraiment c’est se que j’ai le plus aimer

### 2/5 — Waste of $3

*2022-06-02, version 1.5.6*

Way too short. It might take 20 minutes max to complete. The idea is nice but I can’t recommend it due to how short it is.

### 5/5 — Delightful game, very short.

*2021-12-31, version 1.5.6*

Fun game to play. Great artwork style, music, and hint of a love story. I finished it in somewhere around an hour or less. I could see this game to easily have more stories with different scenarios. Its worth playing, but ends too quickly.

### 5/5 — Best game

*2021-12-19, version 1.5.6*

I played this game a lot and i got a new phone and forgot the name and spent weeks trying to find it

### 3/5 — The Nerve level has a bug

*2021-12-15, version 1.5.6*

Like the title says, the nerve level has a bug.  The button for the kidneys is inoperable at one point in the game.

### 5/5 — 🥳🥳🥳

*2021-12-13*

마지막에 손잡을때 같이 소리질러 🥳🥳🥳

### 2/5 — Коротко

*2021-11-19*

Интересная задумка, но проходится за 1 час. Не стоит своих денег. Красная цена - 30 рублей.

### 3/5 — Скукота

*2021-11-19*

Очень очень долгие ролики потом простейшая головоломка. Сложность только разглядеть в этой графике активный предмет. Нет смысла тратить время

### 5/5 — Positively delightful

*2021-11-15, version 1.5.6*

This game is truly wonderful, a bit tricky to understand at first, but with enough fiddling about you get the hang of it. The story, art, mechanics, and just general flavor of the game is perfect, my only complaint is that it’s too short

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-11-14, version 1.5.6*

This game has great puzzles, and a good story. It’s not to long but worth a try if you like puzzle games.  This game is best with a headset on.

### 5/5 — Как это мило

*2021-11-13*

Приятная и добрая игра

### 5/5 — Крутая игра

*2021-11-13*

### 4/5 — Entertaining

*2021-11-13, version 1.5.6*

An entertaining unique game type experience

### 4/5 — Nice art style

*2021-11-12, version 1.5.6*

Some peculiar puzzles but lovely deco art style got it for free probs wouldn’t pay for it tho

### 5/5 — It’s so appreciated and endearing story.

*2021-11-11, version 1.5.6*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Pas mal mais…

*2021-11-11*

Excellent jeux, magnifiques, l’histoire et sympathique et les textes sont originaux…
Seul problème la durée de vie, elle est très courte. En jouant bien vous pouvez finir les jeux en moins d’une heure dommage.

### 1/5 — Racist, sexist claptrap

*2021-12-20, version 1.5.6*

Why are all the workers white and the boss is a white male with a subservient female.

### 1/5 — Poorly executed - dont waste your time

*2021-11-15, version 1.5.6*

Good idea but Poorly executed

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2021-11-12, version 1.5.6*

Need clue in offertory step it keep on stuck you for stupid reason.

### 1/5 — Se traba

*2021-11-11, version 1.5.6*

Tuve que reiniciar tres veces para llegar al segundo ejercicio, se ve interesante pero toralmenr inútil la aplicación

### 1/5 — Too short

*2020-11-14, version 1.5.6*

Far too short. My son finished it in one sitting. He said it wasn’t very interesting as it didn’t have much details about how the body works

### 1/5 — Homo Machina

*2020-11-11*

I can’t solve puzzles chapter 1 there’s no clue for puzzle

**Developer response:** Hello! 
In order to help you solve the first puzzle and not get stuck in the game anymore, we suggest you watch the game's Walkthrough. https://youtu.be/m-vIblyqYPY

### 1/5 — I paid for that?

*2020-05-01, version 1.5.6*

Uhm.... I mean I guess if you wanna kill 5 minutes and 3 bucks then get it..... 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-12-24, version 1.5.6*

£2.99!!! Waste of money. Do not pay for the app. Good if it was for free

### 1/5 — Unfortunately Overrated

*2019-03-30, version 1.5.6*

As a puzzle fanatic ... I’m thoroughly disappointed in this game. The child-like interface insults my intelligence and the simple touch-and-play puzzles seem to be designed for a 3rd grader. This game should NOT be marketed as an ADULT puzzler. Apple failed me and improperly suggested this childhood game to me.

### 1/5 — This game is so short and easy

*2019-01-04, version 1.5.6*

I thought it be a more challenging game

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Creative

*2026-03-09, version 1.5.6*

Fantastic! A little hard to see in my phone, but the creative puzzles make up for it. Just enough challenge to keep you interested and not so hard you can’t figure it out.

### 5/5 — Delightful, heartwarming, and unique experience

*2025-03-03, version 1.5.6*

I come back to this often for a lovely little romp through art and imagination. More people should play and experience this little adventure. It's so heartful and well crafted, and well worth the asking price for a memory.

### 5/5 — Creativity at its finest

*2024-02-08*

It’s on the top 5 for sure. 
Excellent work.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра!

*2023-06-26*

Очень приятная графика и геймплей. Да, она короткая, но это то что нужно. Затягивать игру на все органы было бы уже перебор.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2023-06-09, version 1.5.6*

Очень хорошая игра , ждем продолжения или другой игры

### 5/5 — Short but sweet

*2023-03-05, version 1.5.6*

Very adorable puzzle game with no hand holding except at the end *wink*

### 5/5 — Uma viagem no corpo humano

*2022-05-28*

Puzzles em geral simples, mas com um design muito criativo

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel mit kreativem Konzept

*2022-04-24*

Den menschlichen Körper als Fabrik aus der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts darzustellen ist wirklich gelungen und es werden die einzelnen Körperfunktionen und -prozesse dadurch sehr anschaulich und unterhaltsam dargestellt. Wie man es von Arte kennt und liebt. Klare Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Very entertaining

*2022-03-25, version 1.5.6*

I digged the style. Some of the puzzle are tricky to figure out what to do, but I guess that’s what they wanted. The music level was a huge pain. Besides that one, I loved it.

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel für die ganze Familie

*2022-01-22*

Gut, um seinen Körper besser kennenzulernen. Schön gemacht und gestaltet. Die Textgeschwindigtkeit ist ein bisschen zu schnell. Die Rästel sind nicht zu leicht, aber auch nicht zu schwer. Angenehme Musik. Vielen Dank!
