    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.

    Dordogne is a gentle masterpiece for the mind. Beautiful, dreamlike, moving. A marvel.

    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.

    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.

Locals will certainly identify themselves to Mimi and find in the game at least some portion of their childhood. Expand

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