Beautifully done

This game is fantastic from the cute art to the lesson we learn through helping those we find in each world as well as the lesson the character we play as learns. While all messages are simple and considered to be widely known, it’s astounding just how hard it is to practice what we know to be true. Especially when it comes to willow’s lesson. Honestly I would say this is one of my favorite mobile games though I do love games with themes such as winding worlds. Games that show our main characters struggling with real world issues be it something physical or mental. Though, I guess I came to love these games more after playing How lost world: Beyond the page, another game that is my favorite for PS4.

Ya cut me deep, Shrek

Came for the mechanics and artsy design, stayed for the moral(s) of the story. Never knew an witty little indie game would hit so hard. This app is 90% story, 10% gameplay for all the “the controls are terrible” people. So clear out 3 hours of your day, grab the box of tissues by the 3rd level or so, and enjoy. 10/10 would recommend. Well done

Amazing message, fun puzzles, wish it was longer

When I got this game I thought it would just be a fun little puzzle game, but as the story unfolded I became more invested in the character and her story and the world she was in. This game is a beautiful illustration for how good intentions don’t always have good endings for everyone involved. I only wish this game had more, and the story was longer or there was a sequel, etc. I could play these styles of puzzles for hours, they’re novel, a little tricky sometimes, and creative.

Therapy for everyone

I’m an acute psych patient, I’ve been in therapy my whole life and I’m constantly helping people and never getting help in return. Still working through a lot of ptsd and a mood disorder. Sometimes it really does feel like a parasite. This game is one of a kind for sure, when I saw the title of the last level I knew it was going to be heavy but wow. I mean wow. Beautiful game and it looks great. This is a 10/5 for me. Brought me to tears, The parasite and the bubble spoke to me.

Definitely 100% recommend this game! It’s so interesting and detailed and not really so challenging, I loved the characters and their story’s I found the 2nd to last level sad thou (I shed a few tears) hearing about the lady’s story with her Pa. I can’t even express how amazing this game is please check it out for urself . I started the game thinking it was gonna be a boring puzzle game but in fact it’s nothing like that at all I wish I could play this game forever lol ❤️
