    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.

    Dordogne is a gentle and comfortable adventure that manages to capture an authentic quality. The intriguing narrative threads are thoughtfully implemented to allow you to tie strands together. Gameplay aspects are rudimentary and at times feel unnecessary, however, they do help make the jaw-dropping environments feel alive. While at times you may wish that Mimi could run, that thought seems to dissipate as you take in the beautiful surroundings. Although this is not for everyone, those who enjoy narrative-driven games will fall in love with Dordogne.

    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.
