What players say

Players praise the beautiful hand-drawn art and emotional story about an old man revisiting his memories, calling it a touching and relaxing experience. The core mechanic of reshaping the landscape to guide the character is considered innovative. However, many note the game is very short at around 2 hours and has low puzzle difficulty, recommending it only on sale.
