Community Insight:
Us and our boyfriend played this together, and hes currently tearing up at the ending. We both say this is absolute cinema. Thank you Philipp for giving us this game and many more.
This game was absolute cinema. We heavily enjoyed the nonlinear storytelling, as well as the repetition mechanics. It really made us think about the various symbols scattered throughout the story and left us combing over scenes we thought we were done with. It's such a good puzzle game, we honestly wish there was more.
This is one of the greatest games Ive ever played! We all deserve more fun and art in our lives and this game is it!! 100/10 we need more games like this.
We wish there were more of these kind of games.
This game is made in the language of n ko and African language made in 1947.
We love unique games we love artful games we love creativity and of course we would love more. Thank you Philipp Stollenmayer.
Better than the whole country of norway.
We were not expecting this much detail from such a cheap game. It was better than any puzzle game ive ever played. We dont usually leave reviews for games, but this one needed one. We loved the interactive aspect, using the volume buttons, plugging in your phone, shaking it, etc. It was fun and kept us motivated to play, honestly! We only ask that we get a sequel of some sort soon.
This game is the best game we have come across ever. It is so immersive and has you playing nonstop until you finish. The only complaint we have is that it is too short. It would be wonderful to have an update, or an add-on or something like that. Also, we were wondering why this game had (only) 4.8 stars, so we read the reviews. The one star reviews are from people who didnt understand the game or thought it had bugs, but really it was meant to be played a different way than the way they were playing, for example, one review said that it ended when it said a new beginning or someone else said that it just kept taking them back to the start, but really they just had to interact and get through the puzzles. And it would be nice to have some kind of walkthrough or extra hints. This is the longest review we have written, but it is just because this game is so outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
So creative, so fun. We will be sending this to friends.
The style, the interface, the purpose and even any other part of it that we've never experienced in the App Store. Brilliant.
We love this game its fun but really short. Youre probably not making a sequel, but at the very least can you make a button in the game that restarts it so we can play it through again from the beginning? Thanks.
We couldnt figure out at all how to navigate from one level to the next and had to keep starting from the beginning. This meant that we had to repeatedly solve the same puzzles over and over. Is this intentional? Some were easy to repeat but some were not and it quickly became frustrating and lost its appeal. Some puzzles seemed pretty cool and we were looking forward to playing more but ended up deleting. Way too obscure to be fun. Cheers for those who figured things out and were able to play it. Im not one of them. Im one of the ones who wonder if the game is obscure for the sake of being obscure. And re: the review that said how the dev is unresponsive – there is really no room in our heart for unresponsive devs. Imo, this game is poorly designed which makes it not fun to play.
This is our first game review. This is a beautiful, thought-provoking, melancholy experience thats more art than game in the best way possible. Playing this game felt like stepping into a well-designed mixed media museum exhibit. The only downside is you can only play this game for the first time once. 5 stars, enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
This game filled us with awe to the point we lost track of time on a long flight. Highly memorable and unique style.
We dont know what it was about it, but this was an amazing experience.
Absolute amazing experience. This is what mobile gaming SHOULD be; something with real sustenance. Although, the lack of replayability is mildly upsetting. STILL, we wish there there were more mobile games like this, and that this game would get the attention it truly deserves. Best mobile game of all time.
Huge fan of this and really looking forward to whatever Phillipp works on next. The paddles on the ping pong level dont work for us tho, Im on the latest iOS on an iPhone 15.
If we could give you more than five stars we would. This game had all the fun stuff. We looooooved it!! It was like if the inner workings of our brain actually had a backstory. Got really deep there at the end and we dont fully understand what exactly was happening, but we loved it nonetheless. Anyway, we love all of your games and we hope to see more amazing ones like this in the future. Sincerely, a very impressed gamer.
This game made us feel. The puzzles were so perfectly difficult and different. Its a game of trial and error and patience.
This is one of those clever gameplay ideas thats hiding something even more amazing. Too many words will spoil the experienceso take our advice and just download and play. So many props go to the developer and the composer. This is a work of art masquerading as a game.
We really loved this game, and uncovering the characters story. Though we were really sad when it ended… Prequel.
We like games that have good to beautiful artwork style, creativity, uniqueness, and engaging of our interest and attention. This game has all of that. Some of our other favorites include Gorogoa, and Trauma.
A completely beautiful and unique game.
So worth the few bucks. If you are reading this and you enjoy puzzle games, please do yourself a favor and get this.
We never write reviews but this game is amazing, getting creative by using volume buttons, charging your phone, and rotating it to get through levels, the beginning makes you question it so much but it fits together at the end perfectly. The symbolism and foreshadowing is awesome.
We dont write reviews, but this game was absolutely beautiful. We loved it, and you will too.

This is a lovely game with a poignant story. The puzzles are part of the story, too, rather than just being obstacles to get to the next part of it. There aren't typical written instructions, but it's all right in front of you; it's straightforward once you realize this.
We couldnt finish it without a walkthrough to get through a few sections, but it was rewarding. Good game.
Very good,good,Gooder than fortnite and 5 stars with a smile.
This is the best game Ive ever played in our entire life.
Its somehow, abit tactical, solving alone, but manageable only times, very interesting, puzzle, almost like solving a Labyrinth Thank you.
We'd wanted to design apps for a long time, but after finding this game (and Bacon! ), we were sold. Started learning Swift a couple years ago, and hope to make apps even a tenth as beautiful, surprising and organic-seeming. We are a massive fan. Thank you, Phillip.
This games art style continually changing and music with it is beautiful and the game is fun to play we just finished it and it was amazing.
We cant even describe how much we love this game. The abstract style fights against our sense of reality. Im not even sure this is a game. But, Ill tell you one thing. This isnt the game of the week, month, year, decade, century, or millennium. This is the game of the megaanum.
We cant imagine how difficult it was to make this game. Its crazy.
Ok,Im not a robot or some person they hired to write this review so ima be honest with anybody reading this. One day we got extremely baked then played this game with our AirPods in chillin in our bed and let us tell you this is not only a game of puzzles but this is a story and a work of art like it deserves a lot and we mean a lot more recognition than it has. Final review 9.7/10 keep up the great work this game is one of the best, no doubt in our mind it can go down in history.
Game is great, super thrilling and simple at the same time. Awesome experience.
The puzzles are insanely creative, and they are difficult but very rewarding when you do solve it, theres a puzzle where you have to plug in your device! Its insane 10 out of 5.
Ive played our share of games and puzzles but this one is like no other. We absolutely loved this app so much and could not put it down. Worth every penny and after playing and solving it, Id have paid more for it! Please hurry up and create a part two.
We have no words to describe how great this game is. Amazing arts, out of the ordinary but great storyline and a new approach to solving puzzles. It definitely makes you think out of the box and show you there are many ways of solving challenges. Congratulations to the creative minds that were behind the development, cant wait for the second part.
This is our first ever review of an app. We are not a gamer but we do love puzzles and when we saw Song of Bloom reviewed somewhere we knew we had to get it. It did not disappoint. What a beautiful, abstract, whimsical and thought provoking experience. Wow. We are so sad that we have finished it.
This was such an interesting puzzle game. It wasnt too easy – we had to look up walkthrough on a few of the puzzles. Such a unique game! We want more games like this.
When we first got the game, our expectations were really low because we spent some money on instant gratification. As soon as you solve the first puzzle and get a grasp of what is going on you get so immersed in the concept. Its such a unique puzzle game what really get you thinking. We love how interactive it is, as soon as we used our volume button and the charging cable to solve puzzles we were absolutely amazed. Honestly, round of applause for the developer, Id say its pretty worth the money for the experience.
We loved this game it was a really fun puzzle game where each level had some clues for others and kept you going back and forth we really liked it and the music was great loved the design for everything.
This is beautiful, fun, clever. And not difficult to finish. Great for non-gamers and those who love eye candy.
An act of creative genius, this game is beautiful, brilliant, and gallery-worthy art.
We highly recommend this app because its like a puzzle and tricks the bran, listen its good get it trust us.
