Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
An Apple Design Award winner, this moving puzzler proves sometimes the best stories don’t need words. Developer Broken Rules has created a hand-drawn world that bubbles with whimsy and heart. Altering the landscape to reveal hidden paths makes for fascinating, peaceful gameplay. We love exploring the storybook settings and uncovering each touching memory. It’s unforgettable, and we’d move mountains just to relive the experience.
Touching story
It’s visually stunning and has atmospheric music. The scenes you interact with are attractive and varied. The zooming in and panning out are like films. The colours are warming. As the name suggests you guide an older man through different landscapes that remind him of his life in chronological order. It was a interesting idea to interact with the landscape to move through the scenes however I would have liked more of a challenge but maybe the point is to just enjoy playing it. It’s one to take your time on and savour.
Very beautiful, very dull
I was really looking forward to this game, which is way I paid money for it - which, as a tightwad, I seldom do with apps - but I just couldn’t finish it. I just feel like I’m missing something. The game is beautiful, stylish elegant, like a Kardashian sister, but like a Kardashian sister, it has no real wit and very little to say. It gets boring quite fast.
It truly is beautiful. The landscapes and character design are stunning, but the NPCs are not really there for any reason. You can’t interact with them and they don’t contribute to the story. Every now and then, the figure will drift off into a memory of his wife; a still image which, again is stunning, but in no way interactive. I don’t know why the game failed to move me, but it did. I don’t know anything about the guy I’m playing or what happened to his family. Don’t know where he’s off to. It all adds up to a rather hollow experience. .
But it really is beautiful. It would make a fine picture book.
