### 5/5 — Amazing !!!!!!

*2025-02-13, version 1.2*

I’m 19, and I got this after the free trial one night when I was bored after work. Honestly, I relate to this story so much—the parents’ childhood and all kinds of trauma hit hard. Reliving those memories feels super relatable. It’s not just an awesome story; it’s also really fun to play. The mix of great storytelling and gameplay makes it such a memorable experience!

### 5/5 — Oh.

*2025-02-02, version 1.2*

This is the same guilt I felt after playing Life is Strange

### 5/5 — Una valle di lacrime

*2025-01-28*

Wow. Non mi aspettavo potesse esistere un format del genere, e mi ha davvero sorpresa. Un gioco che invita a riflettere e a ripercorrere certi momenti della vita, cercando di vederli da un punto di vista diverso, meno arrabbiato, più assertivo. Con 7€ o poco più praticamente ho fatto una sessione di terapia intensiva. 5 stelle meritate. Disegni, musica, effetti, dialoghi e storia assolutamente perfetti. Mi ha fatto riflettere molto.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-01-21, version 1.2*

I liked the story it’s well written and if you like games like life is strange then I think you will like this to

### 5/5 — Mitreißende Geschichte

*2025-01-12*

Kann mich den anderen positiven Rezensionen nur anschließen. Lohnenswertes Spiel mit einer guten Story.

### 5/5 — Passionnant et immersif

*2024-12-26*

Beaucoup de choses à explorer, une storyline propre, un jeu bien français et une expérience intéressante.

### 2/5 — Бэбрик LOL

*2024-12-23*

Здравствуйте, сделайте пожалуйста игру на русском, просто не север не понятно.

### 5/5 — Unglaublich besonders und gut

*2024-12-22*

Normalerweise mag ich solche interaktiven Romane/Geschichten nicht. Aber ich bin superfroh, dass ich das hier gekauft hab.

Die Macher des Spiels haben tatsächlich ein unglaublich gutes und wahres (und ich bin sicher:instinktives) Wissen über den Menschen. Und das ist, was das hier zu etwas ganz Besonderen macht. Auf so vielen verschiedenen Ebenen.

Solange es sowas gibt, solange wir sowas erschaffen, uns sowas erzählen und erfahren, ist noch nicht alles verloren für uns Menschen. So krass und gut und besonders und wichtig ist das Spiel.

Danke.

### 5/5 — Efficient wonderment

*2024-12-19, version 1.2*

The mechanism by which this game works allows fine tuning the aesthetics and mining of story “beats” that make up the game. 
It’s brilliant that like actual humans we can think and replay past events to extract new insights from them. 
It feels like getting into the mind of the character in an intimate and human way. 

It also makes me want to revisit such memories of my own life. 

Reminds me as well of the technique of psychodrama, where pivotal moments are acted out to gain new perspectives. 

Well done!!  I am only 3 achievements into the game and am really digging it.

### 5/5 — A journey.

*2024-12-19, version 1.2*

I’ve only played the first 30% or the free trial but it’s very deep in story/material.
A very slow paced game, but entertaining. Based off a book this is a really nice adaptation.

### 4/5 — Muito bom

*2024-12-14*

A arte visual é muito bonita, o desenvolver da historia cativante, uma pena que quando começa a ficar bom o acesso gratuito acaba, apenas comprando a versão completa para continuar 🥺. Necessário saber inglês para ter um bom entendimento nas conversações mais profundas! No geral muito bom!!

### 5/5 — Beautiful and well thought out

*2024-12-07, version 1.2*

This is a beautiful game with so many little details. It’s definitely worth the money. The story is so well written and really gets into the main characters life.

### 1/5 — How ?

*2026-02-11, version 1.3*

I have never bothered with games before so it's all completely alien to me - I have latest iPad Pro for work and thought I'd just try some games. this free version runs for 3 mins then just stops - is that how they work? Theres no help or hints available whatsoever and no way to interact with it and no explanations. Am I supposed to just spend £8 with no indication of what it is? Why can't they just explain what it is and what I'm supposed to do?

### 1/5 — Glitchy.

*2025-08-05, version 1.2*

Unfortunately, this lovely game didn’t save my progress and restarted me a chapter behind where I’d signed off before bed.  Because of the slow paced style, I really couldn’t bring myself to replay an entire segment and moved on to another game.  Seemed cool though, in theory!

### 1/5 — ??

*2025-03-01, version 1.2*

My game is stuck on the home page. I won’t be paying for it I guess.

### 1/5 — PAID FULL VERSION AND WELL….

*2025-01-27, version 1.2*

I COULD NOT GET PAST THE BIRD SCENE. AN UTTER WASTE OF GOING BACK SND FORTH MEANING REWIND AND FAST FORWARD BACK TO THE SCREEN APP BACK TO BEGINNING FOR AN HOUR AND HALF. NOW YOU WILL SAY GO TO SUCH AND SUCH AND YOU ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. I DONT HAVE TIME AFTER ALL THIS. I GOT THIS TO GET AWAY FROM REAL LIFE PROBLEMS TO HEAR THIS. 🤣

### 1/5 — 😩

*2024-12-21, version 1.2*

Why so many obscenities!? I believe I would be able to enjoy without all the cursing.

### 1/5 — nul nui nul bug

*2024-12-14*

Le jeu a l’air incroyable mais a peine la premiere scene ca bug ca lag, impossible de continuer a jouer l’image se fige lors du premier zoom sur la tete du personnage, j’ai relancé mais la meme chose se produit les dialogue apparaissent dans les menus ca n’a aucun sens c’est bugué

### 1/5 — Interface minimaliste

*2024-12-14*

J’ai d’abord regardé la bande annonce, j’ai fait un scénario puis j’ai acheté l’appli. MAIS, je n’ai toujours pas accès aux autres scénarios. Pas d’explications, de préférences… pas de numéro de contact, rien.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2024-12-13, version 1.2*

10 minutes in I realized this is a choose your own adventure book where you are stuck in a hospital. Immediate 
delete. Nothing ever happened.

### 1/5 — Do NOT Download X!

*2024-08-11, version 1.2*

Currently using a completely up-to-date iPhone 15 and all this game appears to do is lock up my phone.

There does not appear to be ANY way to exit without rebooting your phone. 

Further, it’s not obvious at all how to start the game from the initial screen. I did finally figure out (tap on the ink pen), BUT there still is absolutely NO WAY to exit the game without rebooting your phone! Don’t waste your time!

### 1/5 — So dumb

*2024-07-08, version 1.2*

This game is stupid, the first thing I see when I started are a girls feet with only one shoe on and it literally doesn’t let me do anything.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2026-05-22, version 1.3*

I just finished this yesterday and was blown away by this game. The style of game took a bit of getting used to in terms of how to progress the story ( sometimes needing to go backwards) , but once I got the hang of it I was hooked. One can look at the game in so many different ways, the depth of relationships, the reasons why we behave how we do, and the way loss impacts each of us. The ending was beautiful  and it again made you question how you wanted the story to play out. I’d give this 10 stars if I could, well done!!

### 5/5 — It’s like a movie

*2026-04-01, version 1.4*

Genuinely, I’ve never played a game like this before. It was a beautiful, gut-wrenching story and felt like watching a movie in real time. I can’t recommend playing it enough.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love it!

*2026-02-16, version 1.3*

I have not played the entire game, however I personally really like it I do believe it is underrated, but the voice acting and the graphics are really amazing. I do wish the price was a bit cheaper, but either way it is still in amazing game!!!

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2025-12-01, version 1.2*

This game came to me like a gift! I think in a way it helped heal some of my grief around having a toxic relationship with my mother and a recent divorce. I want to thank the creators so much for this incredible work of art.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-08-06, version 1.2*

An utterly beautiful game about grief, regret, and trauma. It’s so well done, and the voice acting is lovely. I absolutely love the visuals and music. Something that will really make you think. It’s a choice game. I haven’t discovered everything, but maybe you will? Anyhoo, it’s definitely worth playing and paying for. A pat on the back to everyone who worked on this.

### 5/5 — Holy cow

*2025-08-03, version 1.2*

This game made me feel so seen. Some of the best writing and introspection on the human condition that I’ve seen in a long time. It has given me a lot to ponder about my own life. It’s one of those pieces of art that sticks to your ribs afterwards.

### 5/5 — Healing

*2025-07-17, version 1.2*

Played during a hard time in my life and the game handling grief and regret was just amazing

### 5/5 — Love!

*2025-05-04*

This is gonna make me sound like a bot😂 but this is exactly what I look for in a game the script the visuals the emotion can’t wait for the next part!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-04-19, version 1.2*

This is one the most captivating, touching, and beautiful games I’ve ever played. An extremely generous free trial, as well. So well done b
