2024-11-29	Li*****	This is an absolutely adorable little puzzle platformer. The character's journal tells the story and doubles as the environment you need to navigate. My dexterity is bad with phone-based movement controls, so I wasn't able to get far, but I can't put any fault in the developers for that. They have included sensitivity toggles and alternate control layouts to maximize accessibility. It's a beautiful indie game and well worth supporting! (Edited to correct typos and upgrade my rating.)

2024-05-27	My*****	This is the second game by this developer that I'm in love with. Stranger Horticulture is just as wonderfully immersive with a good story line. I have a new favorite company and I look forward to more games. This one is beautiful, emotional, and powerful with unique gameplay that keeps you hooked.

2024-03-06	Ta*****	If you ever spend any money towards a phone video game, this one should be it. 100% Best phone game I ever played, and honestly, it even matches up to console games. The story is heartwarming and heartbreaking, and the choices you make in the game matter. And in a world where so many games are the same old thing, it is really refreshing to experience this very unique take on gameplay. Also, the music is absolutely phenomenal.

2024-02-25	Mo*****	This game is just perfect. The story telling to the beautiful colors, how u get to shape the story by the options, it's amazing how much it can make u feel by a little kid reading out her journal, and the end is amazing, (spoilers) "her getting through everything she experienced, the denial of her grandma dying, slowly getting fed up by the darkness inside her until she finally realized she has to let it go" just amazing, this game is amazing; the art, the story, especially the music, perfection

2023-08-20	Re*****	This game has potential. Graphice & story line are good and the concept is good as well. Unfortunately, it's very boring. U run in a straight line, no exploring the scenes or finding/using objects. I played for a ½hr & did not find a single puzzle to solve. It's just running & jumping. Not really much of a game. I picked up several apples but didn't use them. There's no toolbox or bag to carry items. Very boring running and jumping. I can't imagine paying $ for that.

2023-08-10	Vi*****	there are few bugs still... I reached Chapter 5. I started the game while I was travelling and there was no good internet coverage... The game sent me back to Chapter 0 (I have purchased the game). I immediately shut the game and then reopened once internet was good. To my surprise, I had to start from Chapter 3. Basically all progress after my purchase was not saved. This is a ahame, when even after purchasing you cannot play the game offline.

2023-07-30	R *****	Played the first 2 demo chapters. Nice game mechanics and lovely story. A combination of two platform game styles. Also curious if the story takes different routes depending on the choices made. No ads. A little demanding on graphics if you push it above low quality but worth it. Overall a solid 5* game.

2023-07-14	Be*****	The storytelling, visuals, everything in this game is wonderful. Wonderful feels like an understatement, there's no words to describe how beautiful and amazing this game is. I enjoyed each moment of it and at some parts, I could relate to it and it caused me to tear up a bit. I highly recommend this game. Yes, you may have to pay to unlock the full game, but I can assure you it's worth every penny. To the developers, you did an outstanding job with this game.

2023-06-25	Es*****	A true rare gem. Tells a touching story about the beauty and significance of matrilineal bonds and explores bittersweet themes of grief with compassion and hope. The music is catchy yet soothing. The graphics are a delight; like storybooks of old. Let the core message into your heart while playing, and you're bound to have a genuine, unforgettable experience! There is also replay value to be able to unlock the 'true' ending, because some collectibles are easily missed on the first playthrough.

2023-06-15	Ka*****	This is a beautifully done game, for the first half I loved it. The game play is different, it's more puzzle like than fast paced. But towards the end it became a bit confused and slow for me, it was unclear where it was going and the game play seemed to disappear. Trigger warning for anyone who has lost a grandparent recently too! I'd recommend it, and hope there are more
