Visually, this game is stunning with careful attention to detail and vibrant colouring. The soundtrack is subtle and pairs well with the tone of the game. The narrative, while basic, packs an emotional punch, though there's no surprises - it's quite obvious early on in the game what's happening. This is a slow game though, much like the old man, and is to be played leisurely; there's no point in trying to rush it. It's short so probably worth a few pounds at most, or as part of the 'play pass.'

An adorable game with a amazing design and great story! Very fun to play with beautiful visuals. There are no ads in the game and it runs smoothly. Sometimes, it can be a little hard to figure out where you are supposed to go, but trial and error will get you there. The credits also start out quite jittery/glitchy but it resolves itself once the camera pans out.

A really beautifully made game, good graphics, and the music score is truly exceptional. A nice touching storyline as well. The only reason I'm giving this game 4 stars is because it's an extremely short game. I completed it in less than an hour. Ok, like 55 minutes. It also, wasn't challenging at all. All the puzzles were ridiculously easy. It's almost as though the game was really made for toddlers, it was that easy lol. Still though, despite that, it's a great game.
