Dordogne takes you on a nostalgic watercolour journey through rural France, out now

Dordogne, a charming watercolor adventure, is now available on the iOS App Store. This poignant journey through time invites players to explore cherished childhood memories and reconnect with the spirit of their late grandmother.

This week's releases seem to be steeped in nostalgia, following the announcement of the millennial-themed "A Perfect Day" for mobile. Dordogne offers stunning visuals and a deeply moving narrative. What's the story? Let's find out.

Players embody young Mimi during a summer adventure, as her adult self reflects on the past and her bond with her grandmother. While the narrative carries a touch of melancholy, the hand-painted watercolor landscapes of the vibrant French countryside provide a beautiful counterpoint.

Uncover heartwarming childhood memories and long-lost family secrets by collecting mementos to create a personalized in-game journal. Unlike the potentially darker tones of "A Perfect Day," Dordogne emphasizes the healing power of nostalgia and the positive aspects of remembering.

Bienvenue

Dordogne's painterly style is undoubtedly its strongest asset, a feature we highlighted upon its initial announcement. The visuals perfectly capture the feeling of a beautiful summer day. However, the game's time-bending narrative structure makes it challenging to fully describe. Your enjoyment of Dordogne will likely depend on your personal connection to the story's themes.
