Je sais que pour crée ses jeux ça demande beaucoup de travail et forcément c'est fatiguant, mais si vous faites ceci Je m'etterai 5 ÉTOILES ✰✰✰✰✰ Et en plus j'ai vu la petite vidéo qui montre les differents chapitres et ça me donne envie de continuer ce jeu 😘 mais si je veux continuer le jeu forcément il faut que les chapitres sois gratuit... Et vous les créateurs, je vous conseil de crée d'autres chapitres parce que le 1er déjà c'est une pépite!!! 🤩🥳 Désolé pour les fautes j'essaye de faire de mon mieux Bref Je vous le conseil quand même 🥳 Bisous 🫰🏼❤️ ### 5/5 — Incroyable mais payant *2025-05-16* Dommage que les autres chapitres soient payant.

Ce jeu a fait rebattre mon cœur alors qu’il se perdait, ce jeu m’a redonné vie alors que je pensais ne plus en avoir. Alors, merci infiniment **Developer response:** Salut Benjamin, Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de partager ce que tu as ressenti. Tes mots nous touchent profondément et nous rappellent pourquoi nous faisons ce métier. Merci encore d’y avoir joué et de nous avoir écrit. Cordialement, Clara ### 5/5 — incredible *2025-04-19, version 1.1.9* the art style, the music, the animations, the message- everything is perfect. for me, the story was about depression. being stuck in a tunnel that seems so inescapable, but finally being able to escape, reach the planets, and look back on your life. i was a sobbing mess by the end of this game, but i loved it so much. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wtf *2026-03-22, version 1.1.9* This was so confusing. And we have to PAY for the full experience ### 1/5 — Not really a game *2025-04-04, version 1.1.9* More of an interactive story. Pretty boring. ### 1/5 — pagamento *2025-01-21* gioco molto carino, tuttavia dopo neanche il primo capitolo chiede di pagare per continuare l’esperienza. molto deluso, era meglio se lo mettevano a pagamento direttamente su app store. ### 1/5 — Price *2025-01-05* Why dos it need money??? Make it free ### 1/5 — Game *2024-11-25* So poor and without emotion! It is ok, but get better!!!!! ### 1/5 — Tem q pagar aff 😔 *2024-06-09* O jogo pode até ser bom mas, pagar 14,90 não deve valer a pena 🪶.. ### 1/5 — Mir fehlen Gesichter *2024-06-03* Vielleicht kommen Kinder damit besser klar (ich habe keins zum Ausprobieren), aber mir fehlt die Mimik und ein klassisches Gesicht. Die Geschichte ist ok, an das Dunkel-düstere Bild gewöhnt man sich mit der Zeit. ### 1/5 — Paiement *2024-05-04, version 1.1.4* Il faut payer pour avoir accès à tous les chapitres! Vraiment ridicule… ### 1/5 — I gotta pay For the chapters *2024-04-25, version 1.1.4* Its not Bad but i gotta pay ### 1/5 — Unnötig *2024-04-23* digga was ist das es ist soooo langweilig **Developer response:** Hi! Es ist eine interaktive Gute-Nacht-Geschichte: Das Spiel ist mit Absicht beruhigend und langsam designt. Da das aber nicht für jede(n) was ist, bieten wir das erste Kapitel kostenlos an, damit man sehen kann ob es einem gefällt. Ich hoffe das macht es ein wenig klarer! Grüße, Clara ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PEAK *2026-07-03, version 1.1.9* THIS GAME IS AMAZING ### 5/5 — Awesome and a Lovely Game *2026-05-22, version 1.1.9* I loved this game so much from the moment I began the story. The drawing are beautiful and the story is really cute. Luckily my dad helped me pay for the rest of the game! I was never disappointed and days I did it, I was excited for a new chapter. I especially love the choice between 2 endings. I would look forward to seeing additional chapters or a second version of the game. I was upset that it ended very quickly but overall I enjoyed the experience. I can see the effort paid off and made a beautiful story. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this masterpiece! Would recommend! Wonderful for all audiences wanting a short and relaxing short story before bed to wind down! ### 5/5 — Best game fr *2026-04-14, version 1.1.9* So fun and calming for a rainy day! ### 5/5 — Beautiful game *2026-03-20* As an educator, i felt your game style is brilliant for students to learn interactive storytelling. ### 5/5 — Wie eine warme Tasse Kakao *2026-03-08* Wunderschöne Story, sehr bewegend. Eine unglaublich schöne Reise, Balsam für Mental Health. Man kann sie vielseitig interpretieren und ich konnte für mich persönlich tolle Impulse mitnehmen. Ich empfehle, blind reinzugehen, in einer ruhigen Umgebung. Wer aber wissen möchte, was es sein kann, hier einmal ein *SPOILER* Themen können sein: Depression, Angst, Mut, Neuanfang, Veränderung, Verlust, Akzeptanz, Loslassen, Wachstum, Kompromisse, Verbundenheit, Liebe, Vertrauen, Freundschaft, Zuversicht ### 5/5 — Impressive *2026-02-28, version 1.1.9* I love the storyline, the graphics are incredible!!!! ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️ *2026-02-04* Очень трогательно 😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-01-28, version 1.1.9* I loved this game and it’s the best game ever created. ### 5/5 — Soul soothing *2026-01-26* For the first time ever a short unassuming game caught me off guard and made me cry not out of sadness but out of how beautiful the game was. It was something that made me reconnect with my soul again. Something that made me want to slow down and relook at my life. Something that made my anxiety completely vanish. Especially when I chose to stay with the bear… I just wanted to hug the bear so tightly as it reminded me of the little child within me who I always protected and sometimes pushed to come out of comfort zones. This is a game that only people who slow down, get comfortable with silence and truly understand the meaning behind the game would appreciate the value. Thank you for creating this game. I really needed this and jt changed my life :’) ❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you so much for playing! Getting to be part of your experience of the game through your review means a lot to us. All the best - Clara ### 5/5 — Very deep and emotional *2026-01-11, version 1.1.9* What a wonderful story🫠 This helped me with grief. I would say this is a lovely emotional story❤️ thank you developers --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
