Description

Best friends Arina and Frendt fall into a series of vibrant, dreamlike island gardens peppered with everyday objects from their childhood. Together they embark on an emotional journey that examines the significance of their friendship: the memories they’ve built, what must be let go, and what should never be left behind.

Lost in a mysterious realm where cause and effect are malleable, the friends find that time flows in all directions. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and reach the apex of each isle. Follow the duo as they unpack and explore their significant moments spent together, lighting up constellations and illuminating threads of a bittersweet narrative.

Fun and engaging!

piallen77 on

For some other similar games, I have given up and looked up how to solve the puzzles, but these make sense. Some are more challenging than others, but they are solvable. Beyond that, the theme is really sweet, and I enjoy the artwork. This is my favorite iPad game.

So fun and relaxing Puzzle I love puzzle games

Just the puzzle games, do you know

Like Monument Valley, but more beautiful and interactive

suprateem.banerjee on

This game is one of the top 5 games I've played on the iPad, right up there with Edith Finch, Wild Rift, and Wolf Among Us.

Just wow

Cozy Garden Mom on

I wanted a cozy game I could play in between doom scrolling, I’m amazed at how beautiful this game is. I’m blown away!

Unique Experience

Erica Kristie on

I’m not a huge gamer but this was a pleasant surprise. The graphics and story line is really captivating. I really enjoyed playing it. The start of the game was kinda confusing and I had to watch walk through videos to figure it out but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed the puzzles. I think the only thing it was missing was a basic tutorial but overall I want to play more. Really well done, just WOW!

This is not a game

Atl4543 on

This app is not a game. It is barely an interactive story. This is someone’s passion project. It is not worth $5. Absolute drizzle!

Not happy requesting a refund

lefty scratch on

This game doesn’t work for me.

Needs better MFI controller support

cjseaton on

I love this game. I have it on all of my game systems. The touch controls are good, but I prefer playing with controllers when I can. The only problem I have with this version is when I plug in my Backbone controller the game automatically shuts off or doesn’t start. That why it’s 4 stars out of 5.

Pretty but no gameplay at all

Kehebeisbsj on

You’re literally just sliding your finger and holding. You slide your finger to the right or left and you hold it there. That’s it. The ENTIRE TIME. It’s not a game so much as a video you play or rewind. Utterly pointless.

Tricky but fun game

Avalovesdogs123657 on

This game is so fun my kids are all over it I love the app and it’s great for my children their minds Borden so much from this game if you want a fun game for kids that makes them use their brainpower than you should download this app or if you want a fun tricky challenge than you should download this app. It’s worth the money because what’s more important than you child’s brain and their happiness? Download this app for fun and brains.
