Get ready for some serious nostalgia
- Uncover your family secrets via recollection
- Gorgeous painterly visuals
- Emotional narrative and memorable characters
There's something about painterly visuals that evokes deep emotions in games, and Umanimation seems to know exactly how to wield that nifty trick in Dordogne. This charming narrative adventure puts you in the shoes of a girl named Mimi, as you piece together patches of your younger self in the past and maybe even learn more about your present along the way.
In Dordogne, you can look forward to emotionally charged scenes made more vibrant with a watercolour-esque art style. What exactly happened one magical day before you turned thirteen, adventuring in the countryside with your late grandmother and your newfound friends? Witness the summer come alive and uncover family secrets while you're at it, whether it's boating on the river or finding a sleeping underwater dragon.
The stunning scenes and panoramas won't go to waste, of course, as you can add images, sounds, and even scents to your journal, just so you can immortalise your memories forever.
Does that sound like it's exactly your cup of tea? If you're on the hunt for more experiences that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster from the comfort of your own home, why not take a look at our list of the best narrative adventures on mobile to get your fill?
