March 2025
bitter sweet story with a sad ending. i loved the level design and having to alter the terrain or moving sheep so the old man could progress forward, and there were lots of interactive elements in the background too. the art and music were lovely too. takes around 1.5 hours to complete all levels, although i had only unlocked 2/5 trading cards by this point, so will need to keep the game running longer to get them all. it would have been nice if there were achievements also.

Wow, these graphics. What art. For both the normal scenes and the memories, the art is just perfect. The gameplay is quite unique, where you're moving the hills or eliminating obstacles to help the old man on his journey. It's pretty easy, but I think the game is meant to be quite chill. The story is told only through visuals with no dialogue, which I don't really like, but anyway, the visuals are fantastic and tell the story well. The story is pretty predictable, but that's fine. And I think the people talking about being unable to sympathize with the old man are kind of missing the point. The game isn't advocating for the choices he made. It's about regret. The message of the game is obviously to not do what he did. I think it's a nice, wholesome little game, and yeah, don't take people for granted.

Perhaps to make life beautiful, not everything needs to be so difficult and complicated. In the end, we might not need as much as we think. 지난 날을 되짚으며.

Lovely little game. Really enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. Calm, thoughtful, and beautiful. The puzzles were just enough to still be relaxing. I really appreciate the effort that has gone into making this heartfelt reminder to appreciate life. The few people writing negative reviews seem to have entirely missed the point. If you are looking for flashy gimmicks, loot boxes, and quick fixes to feed your dopamine addiction then no, this is probably not for you. Personally, I loved it.

A lovely game with a different twist on puzzles. You have to adjust the scenery to let your old man find a path through his memories. Very short, though. It took me less than 2 hours and that includes having paused the game for about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend on a good sale.
