Breathtakingly beautiful

I loved this game and could have played for longer, it is truly mesmerising, like being in a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.

Harsh Review

One of the most enjoyable puzzle games I have played on IOS. I am quite harsh with my reviews, please take note, yet this game is well designed and visually pleasing.

In terms of gameplay, it’s a little underwhelming, where there are beautiful scenes, the walking is slow and puzzles are a bit too simple. I also have a bit of an issue with the final puzzle being a little unclear. It’s a hard game to play again unlike Monument valley or Agent A. However, these puzzles are seamless and diverse, there is rarely any copy and paste. Yet for a linear exploration game, it’s very short. This was a little bit disappointing.

The visuals are why you buy the game, they are magnificent. From the smart use of transitions, to the grain of the screen to make it look like paper. The sound track is also relaxing, yet gets a little repetitive. The 3D models at the start however are very unconvincing compared to the rest of the game where the paper is displayed. It seemed an odd choice.

I would recommend you buy this game, but only after monument valley or some other, loner puzzle game. Though this game is refreshing and extremely enjoyable, it was that bit too short. I feel that there is better you can buy with your $5 such as monument valley. Though, for $5, you can’t buy much with that, so you might as well get it.

Beautiful, but short game

Visually, the game is beautiful. However it is quite short at only three chapters and the game play is not especially challenging.

An old favorite

I have fond memories of playing this one. It’s relaxing, and I love the wolves. I mostly play it on long plane flights. I think I’ve gone through from beginning to end six times at least?

Haven’t played it in a while, but I will update this review when I have the chance to do another run through!

Excellent

I highly recommend this experience/game....it’s got beautiful graphics and a great way to have some fun and relax at the same time! Fantastic job with this one!
