I like the game,its flow,and its story.. i am already thrilled when i got closely to the oart where cicera goes to the mountains,,..but i am disappointed because it didnt satisfied me ..it didnt took even 3 hours to finish it..I hope that you continue the development of this game because it has a potential. Thats all ,the game is great ,only i just need more i guess haha ill make it 5 stars if you made a development on the game.

I like the gameplay but would like a way to zoom out further because i feel I'm to close upon the character therefore its hard to see things like twigs and such. Overall it is a nice little game, the way things should be. The npc's seem to know and care for one another. So far its great, good job developer.

Alright first off this is not my targeted game but thought I'd give it a try. It was confusing, trying to figure out what the game wanted me to do. Controls are a bit sticky also . Maybe it's just me but I played a grand total of 10 min . Got so frustrated with it that I just uninstalled it. IT was a good attempt I guess on the devs part . This is just IMO.

Mountains? It fades into a scene and then goes on this speel about "the night comes with such darkness" Is it work in progress? Update soon? Super cool game, love the detail, love walking through the goat poop, the dead animals is messed up but genuinely standing from a "realistic" point, right on! Adds to the complete shock and mystery to this adventure game. Only thing is I wish I could customize our character. Different hair color, different tan skin colors, misc ratty clothes to put on.

Decent game. The durability of food and water is not what I would call realistic but overall, a great story line and very detailed in regards to their backstories. They really captured the struggles and losses of migrating.

I really enjoyed this game. Good graphics, easy to control, no glitches or game issues. Enjoyable quests and a lot to look at. Like others said, I thought it was just beginning when it finished. Very short game, wish there was more to it.

I really love this game! The graphics are really good. And there's always things to do. Plus it brings awareness of things we take for granted. I keep getting turned around, so a map would be nice. And I keep having trouble when I stop my character. I've got to stop at exactly the right place, or I'm not able to finish my task.

This is a fantastic game. I love the crafting element as well as the storyline, very poetic. Above all, it gives me great insight into Brazilian culture and their native plants. I really enjoyed this game, I just wish it went further after you pass the 'smoke screen'. Very enjoyable, one I will keep and come back to.

I loved it at first but the more you explore, the more frustrating it gets without a compass or map. I wasted 20 mins just running around trying to find where I needed to go. I memorized the area for a little bit then life happened and I forget everything the next time I hoped on the game. It was difficult.

Crashes after you bring the tea to grandpa. Tried several times but always crashes at this point.

Would rate 4 but it was so short. Kudos for graphics .they should add a map but if a map is added definitely have the option to have off screen. I got turned around twice but I eventually remembered. also have the option to speed up the words not skip the story when you press it. I was excited for the adventure but to short

The game itself is fantastic. The world feels rich and meaningful, the gameplay is interesting and engaging. The controls were a little glitchy at times, but mostly worked well. The "poetry" in between scenes was terrible and it turns out that the game is VERY short. But overall, a fully delightful game.

Finished this game much sooner than I expected. It is a good game, well made. Good level design, crafting and exploration. My biggest criticism for the game would be that's it's too short, and basically no replayability factor. If I'm honest when I first saw the game, I thought it was more of a open world, survival game that would be much more lenient and less focused on quests or story. I really wanted to build a house, and unlock more crafting. And be able to actually play the game long term.

Love the graphics, love the story but as soon as I entered the game lag happened almost immediately and kept happening. I had to delete the app. Kind of killed it for me.

Many assets were missing, such as the bench, whetstone, campfire, trap, levitating item on the character's body, and many invisible items that I can't see.

Newest update is making the graphics non existing buildings, trees and fauna lots of things can not be seen I've adjusted the settings and reset the settings still the same. Please fix this. I know not too many things have been reported probably but the gaming experience is now harder if I can't see the chests for collectables the general items even. Please fix.

Very good game with a lovely story and good characters. You can choose the level of difficulty but even the easiest one is challenging enough for it to be fun but not frustrating. At the end you find yourself wishing the game lasted longer.

GREAT OPEN WORLD GAME WITH HUGE POTENTIAL!!! Waaaaay too short!!! Seems like a beta??? When can we expect part 2/a finished game??? Beautiful graphics, interesting story, definitely needs a map! Waaaaay too easy to get turned around/confused. Food/water shouldn't deplete so quickly. Was really enjoying it until it cut off early and abruptly with a "to be continued." Super glad I have the play pass

WOW! Graphics are AMAZING, story-line is AMAZING, the research gone into making this game AMAZING. I genuinely loved everything about it. My one complaint is that the story was so short. I went and stocked up thinking I'm about to go out into the desert and begin my journey to find a thriving city/possibly my parents and BAM games over 😭. I went running to the play store to look for a part 2 but there was nothing. PLEASE PLEASE tell me there will be more soon. I don't want to forget about it.

Pretty game, but so short, just when you start getting into it and having fun and figuring it out it ends, super abruptly....like a giant part of storyline is missing, non existent even, if you're quick at figuring out the controls and the quests this is maybe 30mins worth of game play, if it takes you a little longer to figure out I'd say an hr, just not enough to do really, it's kinda sad.
