A charming adventure game, with a really unique art style and setting. The story is a little confusing at first, without an explanation for why you are in a car with your dad asking where you are, but it quickly starts to piece together: you are on the way to visit your nan’s house, after her death, to find stuff that she left for you – and your dad doesn’t want you to go there. When you arrive and start to explore, you trigger memories of what happened in the house one summer when you were sent to live there (I’m guessing when you were around 10 years old), and you have to explore each day to see how the summer went.
It is very slow paced, quite simple, but utterly charming. The little girl who you control, Mimi, has such a defined expression throughout, with uncertainty but stubbornness as an adult, and – at least initially – petulance and sadness as a child. She misses her friends, her family, and her home in Paris, but gradually the beauty of the location and the kindness of her grandmother change her perception.









The game is stunning to look at, even more so in motion as the environments pan around as you move. Some of the locations are very atmospheric indeed. I have played four days so far and am starting to see links between the young Mimi’s actions and the the older Mimi’s visit. I’m looking forward to finding out all about the secrets that have been kept.
