Fixed crash bug.

Disappointed

Definitely gorgeous. Stunning artwork. It's not a puzzle game like some, and is sometimes annoying when the fellow wouldn't go where you want him to. But if you take it as it is, it's satisfying to figure out what order to do things in to finally get him where he needs to be. And it's beautiful ro just take your time and look at the scenery.

However, I was really frustrated to get to the end and discover that it wasn't actually the end, but just stopped. Ch 2 seems to be nowhere in sight. I think I would have liked going back and replaying it, to see if I could get into places he bypassed the first time, but as it is, there doesn't seem much point in trying.

I guess I should have paid more attention to that "Chapter 2 out in 2021" notice and realized that probably meant it isn't coming out and saved myself a few bucks.

What it is is beautiful. What it isn't is finished.

Pretty...

Pretty, but really short. The second chapter hasn't come out still and i won't be buying it. I think it only took me a few hours to complete and if the second chapter was part of this game it probably would have been worth the price.

Game crashed

Hello -

I rated it 5 stars because it is so beautiful and contains challenging puzzles. I enjoyed playing the game.

The issue is that it crashed in a scene where the guy meets a woman and the rose shows up. After pieces of the rose comes off and the arch then breaks down, the game crashed and I ended up doing it over again. Can you fix the crash bug issue?

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the review! What device and what iOS version are you using? Will look into what the crash could be. (feel free to contact us directly at henrik@visiontrick.com)

Graphically stunning, but...

... I do not like the game play mechanics.

At first glance I thought this to be similar to Monument Valley in game play. After all, it seems to move and flow like MV, but its not.

The character moves on his own, drawn towards the bell that you ring. While it is an interesting concept, and Im not basing my review on my erroneous interpretation of the game play, it is a frustrating game play.

Things happen within the game mechanics that seem to have no reason for happening. As an example in an early level, the move seems to be run in a direction, and switch on the lights in a sequence to get to the other side. Instead, I missed a light, the guy fell off, he hobbled off to a pad of sorts, was regenerated (?), ran up the stairs and then out of the level.

I felt that I wasnt playing a game, so much as I was watching the game play itself, which was my biggest contention. You ring bells, and the guy kinda runs towards it, and then you have to kind of lead him to the next point by ringing another bell.

As I stated, an interesting idea, but not my style. I would have preferred a bit more playing of the game, rather than guessing what to tap.

Controls are not intuitive

While the art was very beautiful to look at, the actual gameplay was very frustrating. The controls are not at all intuitive, so it just feels like I’m tapping on the screen until something accidentally happens. I don’t mind if the puzzles are challenging, but even figuring out how to maneuver the little man is frustrating.
