    This game looks beautiful. Each level has intricate design and it's such a pleasure just observe how old man goes forward and has flashbacks about his younger days. The music also helped to induce this melancholic mood. The gameplay is very simple so it's more an interactive story than a game.

    *Spoilers!*
    So, at the end of this game I wasn't feeling the emotion the creators probably wanted me to feel--nostalgia/happiness/forgiveness. I didn't feel bad for the old m. This mf abandoned his family and then came back for them at the end of his wife's life just to make himself feel better at the end of his life. No, sir, that's just now how things work.

That lady wouldn't ask after him. He's a prick. That's bs. I thought the art was okay, nice and simple art & music and the 'puzzles' were pretty simple too. A little repetitive, but it's a short game. I guess it's the story that made me scoff.    … Expand

    This is one of the worst games I've ever player.
    Bad story: I've read some people saying the story is touching? So a story about an egoist person that abandon the wife with a little kid is now touching. I wanted the old man to suffer. The message of this game is SO WRONG.
    Gameplay: Inconsistent mechanic. It is easy in a bad way. It is easy because it is not well designed. Sound: A four    This is one of the worst games I've ever player.

    Sound: A four time short melody that repeats again, again, again, again, again. It is not even well composed.
    I thought the videogame industry was more mature than this. An eye candy videogame that is really bad.    … Expand

    Old Mans Journey
    A heart wrenching tale
    Old Mans Journey is an about hr and a half long puzzle game where you play as a man who gets a letter.. you don’t know what this letter says but as the game continues and the story goes on you begin to understand.. you see where its going and you just never want it to get there.. but to get there as the name suggests you have to go on a bit of a    Old Mans Journey
    A heart wrenching tale
    Old Mans Journey is an about hr and a half long puzzle game where you play as a man who gets a letter.. you don’t know what this letter says but as the game continues and the story goes on you begin to understand..
    you see where its going and you just never want it to get there..
    but to get there as the name suggests you have to go on a bit of a journey.. this is where the puzzle comes into place..
    its all about pulling different land masts to different heights so oyu can hop from one place to another and proceed to the next area or chapter…
    every chapter rewarding you with a still of this mans past..
    I didn’t quite find anything to be done interesting here with the game mechanics.. but I definitely enjoyed my experience with this game.. the art is beautiful, the story made me cry…
    there were moments of fun.. but most of it was mild irritation of trying to figure out the a puzzle..
    the game and the old man is not consistently responsive either… I would click to a spot on the screen and he would start walking in a different direction to a different point..
    there was also a moment or two where I broke the game..
    id click to a spot and the old man walked off screen to the past area and wouldn’t go back to the area I was supposed to be in, resulting in me having to back out and come back in..
    frustrations aside though, this is an overall beautiful game that’s worth picking up for the heartstring pulling alone.
    I give Old Mans Journey

    This game is more like an interactive movie with gorgeous art style and superb audio. Specially those "color swirls" that make it feel like it’s alive and moving. Simple, but touchy, story is being told entirely without the use of dialogue or words. Puzzles are simple and slightly repetitive but it won't bother you because game itself is quite short. I've finished it in couple of hours butThis game is more like an interactive movie with gorgeous art style and superb audio.

    An interesting adventure filled with extraordinary moments, beautiful as a postcard with sunset. Rather than a game, it is more an interactive movie to watch.

    Maybe this is not a proper videogame, but the proposed journey is one you'd like to take.

    Old Man’s Journey takes around two hours to complete and makes the most of that time, showering players in an array of lovely images and sounds while also giving them some fun manipulation puzzles to solve. I left this beautifully animated countryside having felt that the journey was indeed one worth taking.
