This is a simple game, artfully told.

Dordogne has a heartwarming story and stunning visuals. However, the mini-games may pose a challenge for players with tardy reflexes.

Dordogne is a warm, colorful game, able to send you back to your childhood years. It tells of two contrasting worlds, looking for similarities between them. The ending of the story doesn’t connect quite in the way it should, but the experience as a whole is deeply emotional and truly worth your time.

Les graphismes en aquarelle permettent de joliment illustrer des paysages peu représentés dans les jeux vidéo. Par contre, l'histoire m'a laissé sur ma faim et le gameplay est réduit au minimum.

The game is decent, offering a calm and relaxing experience. I liked the music and the art style. However, the story could have been better. In some parts, the game feels unnecessarily long.

Cute story game overall, characters were likeable, but the story itself revolved around a conflict that happened years ago, I didn't find the climax all that special or interesting. They tried to add a puzzle type aspect to the gameplay, like sticking keys into keyholes, I found it just annoying, not interesting or fun. Running around areas with the beautiful art style & finding collectables was enjoyable but I wish there was more to do puzzle wise. If you want a quick one session story game then I absolutely recommend this.

Dordogne takes you on a stunning watercolor journey through the past and present of rural southern France. There isn’t anything much in the way of challenge, but it’s a charming interactive storybook that will remind you of the really important things in life.

Hey men, the game is simple, with good art style, simple controls, simple but charming story. This is not for gamers, but as a gamer, I enjoyed this cool moment and it will remain in my head for a long time as a good experience. So clearly a good little adventure, worth to buy it at this low price !

Dordogne‘s narrative doesn’t dive too deeply into darker topics, but hints of hard themes abound. The game’s final message boils down to: Take time to look around and be mindful of life. The sentiment permeates every moment of the short experience. It makes for a lovely, contemplative adventure players shouldn’t miss.

Dordogne’s strengths lie within its storytelling, making it very easy to empathise and resonate with the protagonist’s journey. I definitely recommend this to any gamer out there wanting a relaxing but intriguing game experience.

Dordogne is a beautiful and artistic game that takes me on a journey through the picturesque countryside of France with its unique art style. However, it leaves me with some regrets due to its mishandling of storytelling.

For a self-described “narrative game,” Dordogne’s narrative isn’t all that compelling. Luckily, in games as in most mediums, narrative rarely has to do all the heavy lifting.

It is more an interactive story than a real game, but the implementation is very good. I view it as a watercolor "feel good" game. It is quite short (a few hours) but charming. Locals will certainly identify themselves to Mimi and find in the game at least some portion of their childhood.

I guess if you like this art style it might work for you. I like interactive stories, but not this one.
