    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.

    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 delight. A picturesque and poignant journey that will touch your memories and your heart in equal measure.

    Dordogne’s unique selling point is undoubtedly its art style. It truly is beautiful – perhaps one of the most gorgeously animated games we’ve had the pleasure to play, even. And yes, the visuals alone are almost enough to carry the game. Despite the odd misstep, though, we did thoroughly enjoy the story and came to care for Mimi and her grandmother – as brief as our time with them was. It’s small, it’s quaint, but it’s touching – and it’s one of those special games that reminds you life is precious, fleeting and nothing should be taken for granted.

    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.

    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.
