Perfection
I’ve had this game saved on my phone for a long time, finally decided to play it recently & I am so sad it’s not longer D,: this game is absolutely amazing, although I wish it were longer it’s honestly perfect. If you like manga or anime & are familiar with how strange things can be, this game is one that’ll be interesting to you. It’s an incredibly heartwarming game ! & if you’ve played other games, you’ll see the familiar granny who sells candy & the old man with his oden cart <3 :D
United StatesToo cheap….
For the amount of gameplay you get alone 3.99 for VIP (and you can get by with just ads) it’s worth more than that in my opinion. Also the story is moving. All the characters are relatable. They manage to capture the theme of living life without regrets, becoming the person you want to be, and importance friendships. It also immerses you in showa era nostalgia. There are some moments you have to suspend your disbelief but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyability. The plot is like a combination of Kimi no na wa and The miracles of the Namiya General store.
United StatesMost Heartwarming Story Ever 😭❤️💗💔
I don’t even know what to say this game is so HEARTWARMING I think there is completely nothing wrong with it. It is the best game ever truly I mean it I LOVE ❤️ the storyline and when I played this game I felt different feelings like HAPPY,SAD and it gave me many different emotions I made it to the end of Chapter 14 and I cried when I finished it I got done with the story in 1 day and 1 morning but I also know that did y’all make another game like this one like called The Promise I think well I played it before and finished it I cried for days after that and I really miss it 😢 but anyway it is the best game ever I recommend playing this game but if you are sensitive or if you get emotional easily then I don’t know but you can do whatever but I recommend playing it because it is so HEARTWARMING and if you like story like that I recommend getting it anyway great game guys 👋🏻
United StatesAMAZING GAME
Never thought a mobile game could make me cry, but it did. Everything from the graphics to the storyline to the play style was phenomenal! I would examine every single collectible I got because they were always my favorite things, they were designed so beautifully. Truly a great game, and I definitely plan on seeing what else the devs have to offer!
United StatesThis game is good.
This is an awesome adventure. I liked the story. I hope they put part 2 sometime in future. I can’t wait. I did beat the game finding all what is missing. The game is perfect here.
United StatesOrv references?
I just wanna say, beautiful game. I replay a lot, and it never disappoints. And then I noticed the Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint sprinkled in there, and my weeb self went “YESSSS” (Spoilers) honestly, the white coat, the book that guides them, even TIME TRAVEL AND THE WHOLE MAGI THING- an envoy from eternity’s far shore..? A special ship…? ETERNITYYYYY- ANYWAY, wonderful game I really love it so much, I’ve been secretly hoping the devs like Orv too! (Although it might be a coincidence who knows) Also hoping for a sequel but I don’t think that’s likely anymore Thank you!
United StatesSuch A Great Game!
Definitely worth the $$$, in my opinion! This is a game with great heart, well-developed characters, and an intriguing storyline. I’m not going to leave any spoilers, but the plot of the story definitely kept me guessing! It also makes me want to buy all the 80’s snacks referenced in the collectibles, lol!
