“The gut-punch at the very end made the game for me. Some of the levels felt a little longer than necessary but it was otherwise a concise, educational and emotional experience. Well worth the time and money spent.”
“It’s a great game with a great story. This game made me realize just how terrible war is, and I hope there will never be another war like this in the future. Also i like the art of this game, worth it to buy if you like…”

“W game, really enjoyed it. However, I would rather dip my nuts into boiling water before I try to get the Healing Hero achievement again. If you are trying to 100 percent the game beware. Would recommend tho great game.”
“A very emotional journey, about the events of WWI , already thousands of times retold. But it is worth a try. Controls are non responsive, one of the missions is frustrating but all in all a good experience. Graphics…”
“Nice quick game with some decent puzzles. The story is also pretty good. The one thing I will say is the rhythm puzzle for the healing hero achievement can be difficult to get. But if you don't care about achievements,…”

“Good anti-war puzzle game that focuses more on telling stories about the people caught in a time of war. Recommended for history nerds or people who just want a better sense of what World War I actually felt like. It’s not an FPS or a typical “war game,” so it doesn’t try to…”
