### 5/5 — великолепный опыт!

*2024-12-24, version 1.0.3*

игра очень понравилась, благодарность хору пермского колледжа искусств и пермскому музею удивила и умилила!

### 3/5 — Beautiful

*2024-01-07, version 1.0.3*

Loved every second of it, but the reason for my rating is that it was so short. 
The art style and music were wonderful and the music was just perfect, but it left me unsatisfied as it was way to short. Finished it in about an hour and a half

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2023-12-11, version 1.0.3*

Game does not start up at all. iPad Pro 12.9” running iPadOS 17.12.

I’ve played this game on other platforms and would really like to have it on my iPad to play through when the feeling strikes!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-11-09*

This game looks amazing and has a great story in it. I really love the the way the animals are drawn. I swear there isn't a single part of this game that can't take your breath away. I wish I could rate it higher.

### 4/5 — Beautiful Music

*2023-11-06, version 1.0.3*

I found this to be a calming easy game. I dropped one star only because there was a lot of walking and no playing during the game. Other than that, loved i!

### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome

*2022-12-22, version 1.0.3*

This game deserves to be more, it has so much to do in it and is so mystical. I was interested in the character because he reminded me of the wendigo. The storyline of this game is tremendously addictive and I loved it. I would highly recommend this game to people that love myths and adventure. Please rate it five stars. It needs to be a bigger game, and to do that we need to get a higher rating and more players. (Can you please make an ad)

### 3/5 — Ah

*2022-12-08, version 1.0.3*

Welp cost money, decent game, a little too religious but good game in general

### 5/5 — An absolutely magical experience…🙂

*2022-10-29, version 1.0.3*

What a truly beautiful game, so atmospheric, with such captivating music, what an amazing tale! A dive into the creators’ local Mythology and Archaeology as well. Well done all of you! 👏

### 5/5 — Meditative Experience

*2022-09-09, version 1.0.3*

Though short and simple, I found the real draw of this game to be the calming yet intriguing gameplay & narrative experience - walking through the stories, with the musical accompaniment, and wanting to know what the next myth would reveal…definitely an opportunity for me to break from reality while diving into a healthy distraction. Would recommend - especially for those who value earphones and mindfulness.

### 5/5 — A great adventure

*2022-06-12, version 1.0.3*

The art is amazing, the puzzles are fun and not too difficult. It is a very short game, but definitely worth the price. Personally, I really appreciate the descriptions behind each animals and the drawings.
