Old sailors view

A wonderful peaceful world, I love it. My only moan is in the initial release the music was so,so much better.

Beautiful game

I remember getting this game when it first came out on my iPod. I do believe it was free in the AppStore for a time. I am now buying it for the first time and to replay it after all these years. This game was what developed my fascination with lighthouses and rocky coastlines even to this day and much more. I want to thank the developers for making a game that has had such a lasting impact on me throughout all these years.

Loved the idea - some dark themes could be upsetting

I loved the scenery, the idea behind it and the fact that the developer was prepared to go a different route to other ‘games’. As others say, this is not a game, but rather the exploration of three intertwined narratives. If you do take it all the way, without spoilers, that is use the time cues fully, the story gets very dark, and involves abandonment and suicide. Trigger warning is such a naff term, but I do think people may find the themes upsetting, so something to consider.

Cute

Cute, but I just don’t get it. Sorry. I’m old.

Beautiful app

I’m not really interested in playing games… I like the curiosity of opening up one door and seeing where it leads and then opening up another and walking down the hallway and finding another opening and seeing where it takes me next. I like a labyrinthine story. This app provides beautiful music along with an interesting mystery story and how you can find different pathways to understanding where the story will ultimately lead you. The artwork is stunning, the flow of the visuals is very naturalistic, slightly nostalgic, eerie like you’re looking where you’re not supposed to.

The islands you land on to peruse are so magical and forlorn, like the music. It’s a beautiful app, but it’s not for gamers. It’s an app to enjoy the art, music and the mystery and where it might lead you.

Other than a Year’s Walk and Device 6, it’s unfortunate that they haven’t been able to create more apps with stunning visuals, thrilling plot pathways with gorgeous music.
