Gosh I wish

I could respond to other reviews… make it somewhat easy to get in the game. So far, the only thing cool is the sound of footsteps in the snow… OK NOW I REALIZE AFTER WATCHING THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF THE WALKTHROUGH, THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK FOR IPHONES! Now I have to try and get my money back. Too bad.

Migraine Inducer

I’m not one to usually get motion sick playing games, but the constant wavering and flickering light had me taking breaks. The companion journal also doesn’t work on my iPad (it won’t scroll or allow me to enter a code). Other than that the artwork and atmosphere is good, and puzzles are fun enough.

Игра детства

Играл впервые в 2013 году- мне было тогда 14 лет
Сейчас практически 2025 год- мне 26 лет
Время летит, а игра все так же прекрасна как с музыкальной точки зрения, так с философской и историко-мифической. Вызывает искренние эмоции восхищения и ностальгии. Не знаю даже, зачем я пишу этот отзыв спустя столько лет, ведь его даже никто не прочтет, тем не менее- эта игра стала важной частью моей истории, моей детской личности. Спасибо большое разработчикам, что возвращаете меня в ту прекрасную пору детства одним только саундтреком)

Not working

No sound. It’s just an image of a house with no controls on screen.

Wow

I never leave reviews on games. Because I never care much to.

But I can genuinely say this game has impacted me so much since I’d first gotten it in 2018. It’s impacted so much of my art and I will always keep coming back to it.

Thank you for making this game.

Nice and creepy

So I enjoyed this game a lot, there’s not a lot of dark atmospheric phone games and it delivered in that sense. If I had a criticism it would probably be that it was pretty short/not a whole lot of play time. I spent most of my time with this game stuck on figuring out puzzles, when I did get what I was supposed to do they were really quick and easy to complete, and there weren’t that many.

I really enjoyed the story, and how it came full circle, but there’s a pretty big trigger warning needed here for anyone who struggles with su*c*dal ideation.

Not for me, I guess?

The reviews of this game are stellar but I really couldn’t get into it. It was generally bewildering and pretty boring. I looked up a walkthrough to get started because I just had no idea what to do, and then I had to constantly refer to the map on a separate device. I peeked ahead in the walkthrough and it seemed like just more of the same. After about half an hour I decided I just wasn’t having fun and closed the app.

Confusing for the sake of it

C’mon. This game is a back-and-forth nightmare with frustrating controls. It got three for being an interesting story but it boils down to retreading territory over and over again in a way that puts JRPGs to shame.

My personal favourite indie game

Beautiful artwork, mysteriously atmospheric, fascinating story and creepy aesthetic

No sound

Love this game but it won’t play sound on my phone at all. Please patch it!

Sound and menu issues

I cannot hear the sound nor can I find the menu as in it’s just the game, my volume buttons on high but no sound?!
I loved this game in the past but just paid for it and without the sound it’s not a great experience. Any help and advice appreciated !!

Love the art x

This is honestly such a lovely game I just wish it wasn’t so short x
It’s truly one of my favourite games :3 Thankyou

Yes

Probably one of the most creative, engaging games I’ve played. And I keep replaying it, just for the thrill.
It’s weird, creepy and everything you’d want in a game

Disappointed

Too many bugs in new version. Just lost my money

The legend that is SIMOGO

Another astounding game from these developers, I adored Device 6 one of the best games ever made and this is right up there with it, it’s creepy with brilliant atmosphere and cracking puzzles, it does take a brain cell or 2 so unfortunately those without have dragged the rating down, I bought the sailors dream after this and what a beautiful experience that was......SIMOGO you truly have my heart 💖.

Edit: so 8 years or so on and I have replayed this incredible game this time with the companion guide to open the box, wow how did I miss the ending the first time, breathtaking, loved reading the diary, this really is a masterpiece of storytelling and has stood the test of time only get better with improved visuals, I’m so glad it’s been kept updated. I love you Simogo.

No volume

Volume disappeared and can’t fix it. Tried reinstalling. iPhone 11 with latest iOS and everything else on my phone works perfect. Looks nice too bad I can’t finish it.

more context please

แอบผิดหวังค่ะที่ต้องโหลด year walk companion มาดูด้วยเพื่อใช้เล่น ทางdevควรใส่มาในเกมเลยเพราะเกมสั้นมาก น่าจะมี context บอกสักหน่อยว่าจุดนี้ควรทำอะไร กราฟิกสวยดีค่ะ

kind of disappointed since the game is too short. why do i have to download year walk companion when developers can put it in the game itself to make the story flows. also should add more context

Sound not working on iPhone SE

Interesting game and gorgeous aesthetic, but it’s not working right.
