### 5/5 — 감사합니다

*2024-12-30*

무감각하게 살아가던 하루하루... 오랜만에 이 게임을 다시 플레이 했습니다. 그동안 살아왔던 기억들과 앞으로의 미래에 대해 긍정적인 자극을 주네요. 지금처럼 무감각하고 걱정만 가득한 마음으로 살아가는건 정말 아닌 듯 합니다. 아름다운 인생 천천히 걸어가 봐야죠. 그렇게 가다보면 아름다움들을 만나겠죠. 저도 게임처럼 사랑과 감사함을 느끼며 미련없이 떠나길 바랍니다. 이 게임은 지우지 않고 삶이 지칠 때 마다 다시 만나면 좋을 것 같아요. 이런 작품이 진정한 예술 아닐까 싶습니다. 좋은 경험 감사합니다.

### 4/5 — relaxing and soothing...

*2024-05-27*

From what I have seen so, it is very relaxing and soothing after a busy day at work. Nice ambient background tones, music and graphics to help de-stress and unwind. If there was or is a version in pastel colours or sepia tones, and/or available as a complete set, then I would probably get them as well.

### 5/5 — 너무 여운이 남아요ㅠㅠ완전 깡추!!!강추입니드아~!

*2024-02-09*

처음엔 별로일 것 같았는데 넘 좋아요.
몇번 계속해도 지루하지 않고, 첫 판에는 못해 봤던 거도 계속해 봐요.
‘죽음’나올때 증~ 말 좋았다고 느껴요.이걸로 이야기도 써봤어요(그냥 재미로)
가끔은 유튜브에서 하는거처럼 저 혼자서도 막 설명하구 제가 진짜 배인듯 완전 집중해서 있어용.죽은 뒤에 배가 환생해서 다시 아기요람이라고 막 혼잔말하는데 완즌 재밌어요.배 가족도 인상 깊었고, 중간에 나오는 회전목마(?)같은거 타는 것도 재밌었어요.같이 다니던 가족 배들도 정말 사이좋아보였고,졸업모자 쓰고 헤어진 가족 배도 아이디어 진짜 좋았어요.헤어질 때 울컥하기두 했구요.죽을때 다른 배들 나올때 가족 배들 있는지도 찾아봤어요.죽을때 진짜 인상깊고 좋았어요.아기때도 나비 따라가다가 폭포로 떨어지는 거 처음부터 팍!하고 뭔가 느낌이 왔어요(아시죠?)!!저 원래 리뷰 별로 안 쓰고 길게도 안 남기는데 이건 정말 리뷰 남겨야 겠다 했어요.굿굿!!

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2024-01-29, version 1.2*

I have downloaded this game in 2017.I beat it and deleted. 7years later I discovered it in my apps.I reinstall it and played for a second time.what an amazing game.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2023-07-29, version 1.2*

Relaxing and pretty. I loved the music too.

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2023-07-10*

This deserves lots of love and it’s very sad to see your life go by that fast then you go to dance with your family up in heaven what a amazing story, encore! encore!

### 1/5 — I'm a little weakling

*2023-06-21, version 1.2*

Made me cry from cuh

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2023-01-06, version 1.2*

What a lovely story. Emotional, peaceful, beautiful graphics and a wonderful soundtrack. What a journey!

### 2/5 — Kinda boring

*2022-12-13*

Ok, and I know someone’s mad at me for this, but this game is boring. I was done in like 20 minutes and I don’t know if this is supposed to be sad or something but it’s not, it took the smallest amount of time, and I was still left waiting for something at least a bit sad. Also I don’t think the music is all it’s cracked up to be. But I do like the boat idea, so I’ll say it has potential.

### 5/5 — This was a work of art!

*2022-10-04*

This game was a total work of art. It captured life itself which is something you can’t really capture. This was a beauty!
