È sicuramente un titolo interessante: i rompicapi non sono troppo difficili ma neanche semplicissimi (rilassanti per lo più), la musica e la grafica caratterizzano certamente la bellezza di questo gioco. Quattro stelle...in attesa degli altri capitoli! ### 5/5 — Superbe ! *2020-05-03, version 1.0.2* Envoutant, relaxant, inspirant, captivant. De l’art, pur et beau, dans l’illustration, l’écriture, la musique et la conception du jeu. À découvrir, et en attente de la suite... Bravo à tous les artistes qui ont travaillés à ce jeu, particulièrement à Martin, le concepteur, qui a répondu personnellement en moins de 24 heures à ma demande d’aide sur le site de Mirari. ### 5/5 — Wunderschönes Spiel *2020-05-03* Poetisch, entspannend, toll gezeichnet. Für den anderen Schreiberling tut es mir leid, dass er das Spiel offensichtlich nicht verstanden hat. ### 5/5 — Beau et relaxant *2020-04-15, version 1.0.1* A quand la suite ?? ### 5/5 — Très envoûtant *2020-04-10* Superbe jeu tout en finesse et poésie. Musique très agréable. On attend la suite avec impatience 😏 On aimerait bien des explications sur le jeu à la fin pour nous faire comprendre cet art. Très beau travail 👏 Suivi dans la réponse grâce à Martin. ### 5/5 — 오 힐링이 되요 *2020-04-08, version 1.0.1* 허허허 멍때리면서 하기 좋아요 ### 5/5 — A Work of Genius *2020-04-04* A beautiful game that transports you to another world. The storyline is compelling and the gameplay includes challenging puzzles that require patience- much like life. As with most winters; I’m looking forward to spring. ### 5/5 — Magnifique ! *2020-04-03, version 1.0.1* Très beau graphisme! Transportant! ### 5/5 — A Cinematic and Puzzling Masterpiece *2020-04-03* This game is EXACTLY what we all need to be playing right now. Inside you'll find peace, beauty, adventure, and philosophy during these trying times. The best $ I've spent on a game! ### 5/5 — Une très belle découverte *2020-03-31* Un graphisme superbe, et un univers onirique envoûtant et apaisant. On se laisse bercer par la narration qui nous ballade de tableau en tableau avec beaucoup de délicatesse. ### 5/5 — Absolument magnifique. *2020-03-31* Musique originale et jeu immersif. Les tableaux sont d’une esthétique rare. Une échappée poétique merveilleuse et riche. Une expérience à vivre. Vivement la suite. Merci! ### 5/5 — Poetic, meaningful, and full of artistic talent *2020-03-31* I finished this game in one sitting. I was so excited when I bought it! The story begins with Yin and Yang which I am personally fascinated with. Throughout the story you learn new things about nature and how we as humans play into that role and affect it. It definitely is an abstract concept at times though so you really can’t take it all too literally but that’s what fits it so well with the art style and music. I can’t wait for the spring island to open up! The main goal of the game is to collect all the paintings in each location by completing various tasks, though you don’t need all to move on. When I finished I hadn’t collected all of the paintings so I started over and found all but two. It’s a little frustrating at times but then again if it were easy it wouldn’t be much of a game. Great work Martin. And for that matter everyone involved in this piece! I’m so excited for the future of this game. ⛩🐢🍵❄️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rien compris *2024-03-31, version 1.0.4* Jeu mou on s’ennuie ### 1/5 — いまいち *2022-02-13, version 1.0.4* この手のものは、作者の意図がよくわからない ### 1/5 — Bastante aburrido *2020-04-29, version 1.0.1* Es una pérdida de tiempo, todo pasa muy lento y no aporta nada. Musica con tonos agudos que pone nervioso más que relajar. Me parece carísimo para lo que ofrece. Quereis un juego relajante y que aporta diversión? Monument Valley ### 1/5 — Langweilig *2020-04-15* Ich war sehr enttäuscht, da das Spiel so gute Bewertungen hatte, aber es ist sehr langweilig. Vieles lässt sich nicht anklicken. Schon nach wenigen Minuten kam ich nicht wirklich weiter. Ich finde es mies, dass man erst Zahlen muss, bevor man es testen kann. Das Geld dafür ist rausgeschmissen und ich weiß nicht, wie ich es wieder zurück bekommen kann. Wenn es echt so gut ist, dann können die Entwickler doch die ersten Minuten zur Probe machen und danach erst die Bezahlung verlangen. ### 1/5 — App problems *2020-04-09* Hello I purchased this app through apple is not working properly. When I finish the level where I collect it all sea shells and play the music on shells when I went to go on the next level level. The app try to load the game but it gives me a blank white screen no image and I hear the sound I try many times to close the app and restart it and still does the same thing. I hate to restart such a wonderful game please help or give me half of my money back thanks. **Developer response:** Hi, we just updated the game and it must work fine now. Thank you for waiting for this update. I am truly sorry you had to go through that, we missed this issue during development. Let me know how it works out. Martin ### 1/5 — White screen :( *2020-04-08* After one of the levels I believe I was going to summer island? The game won’t not load whenever I resume game. Just loaded a blank white screen :/ **Developer response:** Hi, we updated the game and it should work fine now. Thank you so much for your feedback it helps making the game better, we really appreciate it. We are sorry you had to go trough that. Let me know if the game loads properly. Best, Martin ### 2/5 — Not for me *2020-03-31* I was looking forward to this game. Unfortunately I found the music annoying, not peaceful. There are no settings to speak of. Even most free games allow one to turn off the music but still listen to the ambient sound, and the nature sounds were beautiful. But for me to avoid the music, I had to mute my iPad. On my iPad Pro 11, navigation was difficult. I had to swipe about 10 times to turn 90 degrees. Maybe this works better on a phone. I know this is supposed to be meditative, but meditative does not have to mean slow or cumbersome. Sometimes I wasn’t sure if the hazy watercolor strokes were moving or if anything was happening. When the black screen appeared saying 'Loading...' I’d had enough. I’m sorry I bought this. **Developer response:** Hi Realitycheckinc, we thank you for your honest feedback. The game is indeed slow paced and we are truly sorry you didn't enjoy the music. We made the music with all our hearts, and to us, the music is part of the game and if we cut it off it would alter the art of the game itself. We really appreciate your feedback on navigation (if you quickly swipe you can make the camera move faster) and we will try to make it better for the next update. Thank you, Martin. ### 3/5 — Beautiful art but has issues *2020-06-16* I got to a certain point in this game or mirages and there was just 3 ways to go,none of which I could get to. This is a beautiful and music is even nice but for a stress free experience I found myself more stressed. I am not sure if this is a bug in the game but wish I could keep playing. I deleted the app and will reinstall it and hopefully because I paid for this (which is not an issue for the time put into this). **Developer response:** Hi Twistedchic, we can help in finding your way in the game, there is a bit of exploration in the game and it is part of the challenge. You can send us an email (support), do you remember where you were when you got lost in the Winter Island? Thank you very much for your feedback, I hope you will find the strength to install it again. Best, Martin. ### 3/5 — No sound on iPhone X *2020-03-31* Will update review when fixed. It does look like a beautiful game though. Pretty boring without sound unfortunately **Developer response:** Hi magickx, the sound works when the phone is not on silent or vibrate mode. You will need to set your phone to Ring (normal) mode. We'll try to make a notification to help players put the phone in the right mode if they try to put the volume up. I hope you will be able to play it in ring mode, and enjoy the beautiful music. Best regards, Martin. ### 4/5 — Very Japanese *2022-05-11, version 1.0.4* Beautiful Japanese artwork. Slow storyline, but relaxing. Difficult to be sure you’ve collected everything as there are items that don’t appear to be relevant (but who knows?). Wondering when Spring will be released…… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mirages d’hiver *2025-12-24, version 1.0.4* Enfin un jeu poétique ! ### 5/5 — Really good *2023-06-25, version 1.0.4* A dollar is a steal for such a piece of art ### 5/5 — Wunderbares Spiel *2022-12-22* Tolle Zeichnungen, man taucht ein in die Welt während man die Rätsel auf der Reise löst. ### 5/5 — Le meilleur jeux *2022-01-24, version 1.0.4* Très beaux et poétiques. Vraiment super …ça fait du bien. ### 5/5 — とても良かった *2022-01-03, version 1.0.4* スピード感はないものの謎解きの難易度もちょうどいい感じで雰囲気を楽しむゲームだと思いました！ もっと知られて欲しいゲームです！ ### 5/5 — Mirages d’hiver *2021-08-07* Un très beau parcours poétique dans l’île d’hivers. Vivement l’île du printemps à suivre. Pour le prix’ c’est mérité de mettre dans les cinq euros car l’ambiance et le décor fait main sont au rendez-vous. Je remettrai pour la suite. SN ### 5/5 — Beautiful piece of art *2021-06-22, version 1.0.4* This is a beautiful, relaxing puzzle that is almost more of a pice of artwork than a game. The art and music are gorgeous and the story is interesting and leaves you wanting more at the end. I can’t wait for them to make the next part! ### 5/5 — Narrative and beautiful *2021-01-31, version 1.0.3* Amazing poetic adventure in a poetical art environment. Immersive story for a relaxing time... ### 5/5 — Beautiful game *2020-05-22, version 1.0.2* I wasn’t sure if I would like this kind of game but I picked it up for £2.99 and it’s worth every penny. Gorgeous visuals and a beautiful soundtrack and the puzzles are not hard, I get very frustrated with puzzle games as I’m not very good at them. It’s a very relaxing game, not to be rushed but to be played slowly so that you can take time to appreciate the artwork. It’s the kind of game the iPad was made for. Looking forward to more from the developers. ### 5/5 — Pushing the boundaries of what a mobile game is *2020-05-22* While immediately captivated by the beautiful imagery and the soundscape from the game, I was skeptical of how it would continue to draw you in and be more than just pleasing images to look at. After just 5 minutes of playing I was totally immersed in this gorgeous world and enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t wait for the next one. **Developer response:** Hi Cnbarringtonv2, Thank you for your kind words, it warms our hearts. We are glad that you were immersed in it. I think immersion was our primary goal and I hope nothing will break the illusion during the rest of your journey. We really tried to paint what is real. For the next game, we will try to make it as immersive as we can. I am now thinking about the next season. I can't wait to discover how the bamboo forest grows. We will walk on the edge of a river and we'll wait for the rain to come. Once again, we will see the sun shafts of the red sun of Summer.
