    Dordogne captivates us not only with its beauty, but also with its delicate narrative. It's another indie that deserves to be highlighted for being able to transport us to rural France while telling a story that brings a feeling of comfort and familiarity. In addition, we have a gameplay that fulfills its purpose, stunning scenarios and a soundtrack that gives the final touch.

    Intense, detailed and capable of telling a story that goes far beyond expectations, Dordogne is a story that strikes the soul, thanks to an excellent play system. Must have absolutely.

    Dordogne, the first game of Un Je Ne Sais Quoi, invites players to connect with their inner child in a colorful world that looks like something out of the best of tales.

    As someone who derives real pleasure in admiring beautiful paintings, Dordogne ups the ante by letting me creatively interact with its gorgeous art. Even better, it layers a largely enjoyable tale on top of it. Like Mimi and Nora’s relationship, there are some bumps to overcome, but good times await those willing to work through them.

    A watercolour world presented alongside journalling mechanics that don’t quite capture it at its best. Otherwise, it’s short, sweet, and bound to leave you sobbing. [Issue#30, p.94]

    Dordogne is a half-successful experiment. The excellent artistic direction is accompanied by a simple but functional gameplay, which also finds some inspired solutions in the completion of Mimi's diary. Unfortunately, in our opinion, the narrative sector moves on the same tracks only for the first half of the story. After effectively outlining the relationship between the protagonist and her missing grandmother, Dordogne in fact shifts the attention to other issues, which she however fails to address with the same attention.

    Dordogne’s limited gameplay stints what is otherwise an exceptionally creative experience. The story is impactful and the handcrafted watercolour-painted world is beyond impressive, not to mention a soundtrack of the year contender. You won’t get lost in the brush strokes, but you will fall for its incredible charm.
