### 1/5 — iPad bug, please fix!

*2026-03-12*

I have loved this game and the companion for over a decade but for some reason, now on the iPad the companion pages don’t scroll down beyond the first page, so you only get a bit of information. I’ve tried it on 3 different iPads now and it’s the same with each. It works fine on phones though. Please please please fix!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on modern devices

*2025-02-09*

After loving Simogo’s more recent games (it’s a scandal that Apple Arcade dropped Sayonara Wild Hearts) I’ve been trying to revisit some of their iOS classics. There’s still great stuff to be found here, but some of them need updating for modern screen sizes. And this in particular is just broken on the iPad Air 4. The game itself really benefits from the iPad screen size, but text in this companion is locked to the first screen of each entry and won’t scroll when swiped.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on modern devices

*2025-02-07*

After loving Simogo’s more recent games (please bring Sayonara Wild Hearts back to Apple Arcade) I’ve been trying to revisit some of their iOS classics. There’s still great stuff to be found here, but most of them need updating at least for modern screen sizes. And this in particular is just broken on the iPad Air 4. Text is locked to the first screen of each entry and won’t scroll.

### 5/5 — So amazing games but so costly

*2023-12-19*

Guys yours games are absolutely mind boggling and brilliant creations I have ever seen but they are too costly.
Can you please do something about it please?

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Ipad pro 12.9 scrolling

*2022-07-14*

*2018-12-21*

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 4/5 — Login

*2018-11-19, version 1.2*

No trovo il modo per registrarmi quindi non posso eseguire il login :(

### 5/5 — il gioco più bello di sempre

*2018-06-08, version 1.2*

Ben articolato, originale, grafica stupenda, si termina nel giro di un’oretta e qualcosa, da scaricare prima di Year Walk Companion che permette poi di scoprire il vero finale. Mi sono sentita una detective a tutti gli effetti, bisogna trovare indizi e badare a ogni dettaglio per continuare a procedere nel gioco. Stupendo davverooooo cerco giochi simili
