### 4/5 — Make it free please

*2026-06-06*

This game is really fun to play but I can’t move on I’m only on 1908 & 1909 but now I realized that I didn’t pay  but my parents won’t let me buy the full games because they think you’re gonna take all their money and I think that’s stupid that they think that. can you please make it free? Overall it’s a great game.

### 4/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-01-20*

This was a very enjoyable game. Adorable characters and I LOVED how cute the animals were. The only thing was that certain parts were pretty confusing on how to move forward. I had to look up a tutorial a couple times to figure out what the next step was. I wish there were a few more hints. But other than that, it was a beautiful game with an awesome music design as well!

### 4/5 — Idk

*2025-07-28*

Hey very cute game played the whole thing payed for it but it got deleted off my phone and now I don’t own the full game and I didn’t get money back sooo idk I can’t play it anymore ig 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

### 3/5 — Great potential

*2025-05-11*

Great game but it is not precise enough that you need to pay right after the really short trial..

### 3/5 — 闪退

*2025-05-11, version 1.0.19*

游戏闪退怎么办，第一章都还没玩完

### 5/5 — 한국어 부탁해요

*2025-05-06*

### 5/5 — Can’t recommend it enough

*2025-05-05*

Ending tore me up. SPOILERS: I was hoping so bad there was going to be a way in the end to change the past so they could have been together all this time. That’s the only thing I would have changed 

But this was such a beautiful, fun, aesthetic game. I feel smarter after playing it. It was so cozy. I can’t recommend it enough 

It’s the best point and click adventure game on the App Store. COMPLETELY underrated.

### 4/5 — Add Russian please

*2025-04-30*

Add Russian please

### 5/5 — A Unique Point and Click Story

*2025-04-26*

I rarely write reviews, but I after this game I felt I needed to rush over and write something. It is so sweet, smart and clever. I love the way these two characters interact with time. It took me a very long time to solve the puzzle for the art supplies, but I did it. (Maybe some hints along the way for these ones wouldn’t hurt). Otherwise a great and wonderful gaming experience!

### 5/5 — Immaculate Game Ever!🥰

*2025-04-19*

This by far has to be one of THE best games I’ve ever played in my life! This game is so good, the developers who made this deserves everything🩷🩷🩷🩷 It would be so cool if there was one similar to this or if they made like a game to see what their life is now that their togther!

### 3/5 — Bien mais anglais

*2025-04-09*

Il as l’air bien mais j’ai du le désinstaller il et anglais merci de mettre la langue française

### 5/5 — Love the app, but….

*2025-04-04*

Ok I gave it a five because it is peaceful, calming, and I love it! But whenever I’m trying to change the time zone it always brings me back to my homepage so please do it a different way! Please fix this glitch too thank you so much - love your viewer

### 5/5 — Adorable Art and Lovely Story

*2025-03-29*

When I first downloaded the game, I was a little disappointed to see that I had to pay in order to play the whole game cause I thought it was a free game initially however I did pay for the game to play it because it looked super cute and I do not regret it. The game was so cute and all the mini games were so fun. I loved the story about star cross lovers. I was kinda hoping they would fall in love like in their 30s but I really do like the ending of them falling in love when they were older it’s just so cute. I love it. I recommend this game to everyone and I told my friends to just give it a shot and they all love it too so awesome game make some more cause I wanna play more games.

### 5/5 — Beautiful game🦋

*2025-03-26*

It was an incredible journey, thank you!

### 5/5 — Great love story!!!

*2025-03-23*

Enjoyed playing the game. The story is great and touching, along with challenging puzzles. I liked the switching of the characters, which makes the game challenging. Great job! Hope to see more like this in the future! 👏

### 1/5 — 한글번역좀제발요

*2025-12-09*

한글 번역좀요ㅠ

### 1/5 — not free

*2025-03-19, version 1.0.19*

cost $3 to even play the first chapter, $2 to play the next and so forth. not worth it

### 1/5 — 一章ずつ

*2025-02-06*

買った方が安いという、、、
普通全チャプター購入する方をお得にしないかな。

### 1/5 — Ruined by arcade games

*2025-01-26*

In typical Cotton style, they ruined the game with mandatory arcade games that require skill and precise timing. Luckily, this became evident in the very first scene of the free trial, so I didn’t have to waste my money on a game I can’t play.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE COST MONEY

*2025-01-21, version 1.0.14*

Very misleading. Free game on the App Store so you think is free NOPE right when you click the game you’re prompted to buy it and can’t play without paying money.

### 2/5 — harassment scandal still not solved

*2026-03-31, version 1.0.19*

the boss of the company himself buys sexual service and protects an employee who harasses a female

### 2/5 — Dishonest; Pay to play

*2025-12-10*

Seems cute and from other reviews sounds like a good game.  But it lies about the fact that it’s free.  I was so excited; finally a free cozy game set in a historical setting, everything I wanted.  Then I downloaded it to discover that it actually cost money.  No hate, just wanted honesty with the price, especially in these times.

### 2/5 — english issues

*2025-10-30*

Game was fine, pretty good gameplay for what I understand is a small team. I think every puzzle game has some puzzles where you’re like “really? how would I even know that?” and I can forgive those.  So if that was the only issue, I’d give it 5 stars. It wasn’t. 

The english writing gets worse as the game goes on, and that’s not great but it would be ok if it didn’t make some of the puzzles unsolvable. I’m not sure what part of a beetle a “cactus-like watermelon”  is but Google turned up nothing and I had to look up a video. There were enough issues like this that I ended the game annoyed at every puzzle, and left it very unhappy.

### 2/5 — Jogo pago

*2025-06-06*

É lindinho mas eu não queria ter que pagar pra avançar

### 2/5 — Not free

*2025-03-10*

Dont know why its available for free but when you van the game cant even play cuz you need to buy it. This literally just a trial

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.19*

What a lovely story

### 5/5 — Ótimo!

*2025-11-14*

A ideia de transitar entre passado e presente é muito boa, dá um efeito enigmático pra história! Joguei só o comecinho (demo) e achei divertido, é cozy e bom pra passar o tempo. Eu compraria se fosse mais barato :)

### 5/5 — Execelente

*2025-10-13*

Jogo lindíssimo

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-30*

I no joke stayed up all night to finish this the story is so cute the puzzles are so fun the art is so cute I loved it to much would recommend 10/10

### 5/5 — So cute, touching and creative

*2025-09-28*

The art and story are very endearing. And the mechanic of switching between their lives and different time lines was so creative! It was so neat to see how actions could affect both of the main characters and the story. The story was incredibly touching. Definitely worth the cost!

### 5/5 — Gosh darn it this game is great

*2025-09-09*

Absolutely loved this game— the story, the game mechanics, everything about it was wonderful. Really enjoyed changing things in one time to see what would change in another time. Just a beautifully made game in every aspect.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-13*

I really felt with the characters of this story. Every time they had a bad thing happening to them, it felt horrible and I was happy, when I could avert that fate. Also the story is really nice. What I would have wished for was to be  more challenged. And more riddles/games. I was really sad when the game was over. That is a great sign.

### 5/5 — Awake till 4am

*2025-06-06*

This game was so well put together (narrative and design etc.) in every possible aspect that I could not put down the game until I finished the game at 4am!

Puzzles are great.. artwork is BEAUTIFUL. Playing as two characters is very smart and fun seeing the story unfold. Music is superb, background noises are so well chosen. Super calm. I just wanted to live with them in their rooms. It’s a great escape from the real world.

I HIGHLY recommend ! I play games like this and I don’t know how many I played at this point but this one will stay with me.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — 따스한 그림체로 한편의 동화같음

*2025-05-16*

6600원이 아깝지 않음. 따로 공략이 필요없을 정도로 스토리 따라 가면 무난하게 achievements도 다 열수있음!! 단지 중간중간 까다로운 부분이 있는데 정말 친절하게 힌트 다 주고 스킵도 있다니 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 
게다가 무엇보다 그림체가 너무… 스토리랑 잘 어울리고 하나하나 신경써서 꽉꽉 채운 것만 같은 어플임.. 다 끝냈는데 끝내고 싶지 않다 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Play!

*2025-05-08, version 1.0.19*

Reviver is the most thoughtful and engaging iPhone game I have played. Such a precious storyline to go along with a fun game
