### 3/5 — Wana buy it so I don’t need Apple Arcade

*2026-06-30, version 1.61*

I don’t want Apple Arcade most games are junk so I’d prefer to buy it

### 3/5 — Was okay

*2026-06-11, version 1.61*

As adult playing this .. the graphics were nice, challenges were okay .. but the storyline wasn’t that interesting, I only continued for the sake of finishing.

### 3/5 — annoying control

*2026-04-24, version 1.61*

the virtual control is annoying and not very responsive / precise.  if I turn the virtual control off it's even worse. very annoying.  can't play the game smoothly, needs to keep correcting and positioning just to do the next task.

### 4/5 — Beautiful Game

*2026-04-06, version 1.61*

Interesting concept, wish it was longer though. It was pretty short, got done in a few days.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-01, version 1.61*

The best I love it

### 5/5 — Maravilhoso e roda em monitores ultrawide

*2026-03-26*

Tenho um monitor ultrawide e nem acreditei quando o jogo começou a rodar lisinho e em tela cheia, em incríveis 5120 x 1440 px. Fluído e com uma direção de arte muito bonita, é o jogo perfeito pra momentos de contemplação e tranquilidade…

Só não entendi uma coisa: meu atualizador diz que existe uma versão 1.7 mas a versão disponível no Apple Arcade é a 1.6. Existe a possibilidade de termos essa atualização?

### 5/5 — Amei

*2026-03-18*

Jogo gostoso, me irrita só que você termina o jogo e ficam umas conquistas ocultas perdidas que não faço ideia do que é. Mas só fui procurar mais o que fazer no jogo pq amei

### 5/5 — Experiencia sensacional

*2026-02-22*

Esse jogo tem um visual maravilhoso, uma historia impactante que lhe faz ficar imerso. De fate lhe faz querer salvar todas as brasas e descobrir cada vez mais sobre a historia!

### 5/5 — 10/10 No notes

*2026-02-18, version 1.61*

Beautiful, amazing, and ethereal.  Game play is engaging and never repetitive or tedious.  The puzzle sweet spot between super easy and impossible but challenging. It’s so beautifully crafted and narrated. Worth the price of Apple Arcade+.  Worked great with Mifi controller.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2026-02-15, version 1.61*

Wish it were available to buy outside the Arcade, so I could replay it without needing an Arcade sub

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2026-02-12, version 1.61*

The end almost made me cry

### 5/5 — Truly one of the best games!

*2026-02-08, version 1.61*

I have played these types of games for over a decade, and lately they have come few and far between. This is one of the best and most beautiful adventure/puzzle games in years! Please make more!

### 3/5 — Controle Dualsence nao funciona

*2026-01-21*

O jogo parece ser muito legal, mas o controle não responde.

### 5/5 — !BOB!

*2026-01-09, version 1.61*

Amazing game great for falling asleep and very calming and great graphics and music and narration.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-01-04, version 1.61*

I never write reviews, never really loved a game that much. But this game is something else. I was locked in at the very start of the game. Everything about the game, the music, the sounds, the graphics and the voices. It was just beautifully made. So nice and peaceful, I enjoyed this game to much! I really hope, wish and pray they come out with another one 🤞🏼🥺🤍✨

### 5/5 — Masterclass

*2026-01-01, version 1.61*

Thank you to everyone who created and worked on this game.

### 5/5 — Zauberhafter Seelenstreichler

*2025-12-31*

Ich mochte das Spiel sehr. Es hat eine verzauberte Atmosphäre zwischen Melancholie und Hoffnung, schöne Grafik und nicht zu schwere Rätsel, die manchmal nur etwas langwierig sind. Das einzige, was mich etwas genervt hat, war die Steuerung des Bootes, das war am Handy wirklich schwierig für mich.

### 5/5 — macOS cannot use game controller

*2025-12-14, version 1.6*

Xbox game controller cannot be used

### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually support bluetooth controllers

*2026-08-17, version 1.6*

Won’t recognise my controller is connected, no issues with other games I’ve played on Apple Arcade

### 1/5 — Can’t even play the game

*2025-06-06, version 1.61*

Can’t get past the loading screen. Continuously says loading at 0%. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

### 1/5 — This game frizzes every few minutes

*2023-11-23, version 1.61*

The more you play the more often it’s happening. Eventually after another froze and restarting the game  (it saves automatically so you can’t choose another save) it loaded with the broken save where your character cannot go anywhere and you can’t do anything. It’s a middle of the game and I can’t play anymore. Very bad for the paid game!

### 1/5 — Too Easy and BORING..

*2021-07-13, version 1.6*

This game tries to pull in the player with the cute sounds and colourful graphics but it fails in being a video game first. There's no real unique level design and the puzzles are LAUGHABLY EASY. Word of advice Apple, don't work with Hello Games especially after how they handled No Man's Sky.

### 1/5 — dualsense 5

*2021-06-30*

не поддерживает геймпад от ps5

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work on Apple TV

*2020-09-14*

Guys,

You’ve made a great game and managed to do an even better job by getting it in the arcade. It’s listed on Apple TV but it doesn’t work there... showing “loading” for forever. Have uninstalled and reinstalled it, restarted my Apple TV multiple times and finally had to relent to my kiddo by installing it on my phone who wanted to play the game. 

He loves it but absolutely detests it when it doesn’t work on Apple TV and he needs to be get my phone and I refuse. 

Please be an angel and get this sorted out for Apple TV. It would look great on the large screen. 

Please... just get this done and I assure you that I’ll change my rating to a top one. 

Cheers!

### 1/5 — 進めなくなりました

*2020-09-13*

沼地の腹を空かせたカエルに、ガイコツを持ち上げたが与えずカエルの置物を持っていったところ、ガイコツが無くなりカエルに与えることが出来なくなり、先へ進めなくなりました。
その後どのような行動をとっても解決しません。
明らかなバグでは無いか。

### 1/5 — Couldn’t load the game

*2020-09-07*

The game stacked in loading page

### 1/5 — 게임시작이 안되고 불러오는 중이라고만

*2020-09-06*

계속 뜨네요...저만 그런건가요??

### 2/5 — Isn’t actually controller supported

*2026-08-28, version 1.6*

I really like the actual game its cute and cozy and a lovely way to switch off you mind from the day, but if your like me and want to play on a Mac using a controller (like I do with all my other arcade games) it doesn’t work. If your happy using your keyboard get it its great.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good concept, but I’m still confused on one thing.

*2026-08-02, version 1.61*

The previews don’t do it justice. This game is better than the preview show you that it is. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. SPOILER ALERT I still don’t understand why what I think maybe the protagonist of the intro left in the end and who the heck do we play as like I know her name is Ember, but something doesn’t make any sense like I didn’t see her in the protagonist’s boat that doesn’t even make any sense. But this game is great overall. :)

### 5/5 — Great graphics a bit sad but also peaceful

*2026-07-25, version 1.61*

I love the graphics so pretty and games were dialogue is narrated is just better I love how the puzzles get harder but there all different in a way and sometimes you just get a simple one lots of freedom you can explore everything I hope they make a new one

It maybe hard for some people it can get confusing but its just challenging enough for me

### 5/5 — O melhor jogo de celular que já joguei

*2026-07-17*

Uma jornada introspectiva que te faz pensar, se desafiar enquanto te coloca em lindos espaços com uma trilha envolvente

### 5/5 — GORGEOUS

*2026-07-09, version 1.61*

Yes, definitely one of the best games on Apple Arcade

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2026-07-08, version 1.61*

I absolutely loved this game. The puzzles and strategy are challenging yet rewarding. It can be a quick playthrough if you want it to be. Definitely looking for more games like this!

### 5/5 — 良作

*2026-06-08*

謎解きがとても楽しく、最後まで飽きずにプレイできました。

キャラクターも可愛らしく、性別や年齢を問わず楽しめる作品だと思います。
世界観や雰囲気も素晴らしく、癒やされながら冒険を進められました。

ただ、ストーリーは数時間でクリアできるほど短めです。
内容自体は良かったので、もう少し長く遊べたらさらに満足度が高かったと思います。

全体としては、とても丁寧に作られた良作でした。

### 5/5 — Please make a second one of it😀

*2026-06-05, version 1.61*

It was my first video game I ever completed and it was the best video game ever please make sure to make a sequel to it.

### 5/5 — Favorite love this

*2026-05-19, version 1.61*

Would like a part 2!!

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2026-05-06, version 1.61*

The music and narrator are awesome. And the gameplay itself is also great. I love the puzzles and interactions. Simple to follow along but engaging and never boring. 10/10

### 5/5 — Stunning

*2026-04-26, version 1.61*

This is the best game I've played in a long time. It reminds me of Myst, which I loved back in the day. The puzzles are just the right level of difficulty. You can work them at leisure and skip a few if need be. They rely simply on paying attention as you move objects around until you have an "aha" moment, at which point the solution becomes obvious. The game is relatively short, and it's refreshing to play something written by a team who clearly valued quality over quantity. My only criticism is how difficult it is to use the boat. I kept getting stuck in little crannies or under ledges. Devs, if you write another, please don't make moving around the game world for an entire chapter so annoying.
