Dordogne, a beautiful painterly adventure, is now available on the iOS App Store. This heartwarming game takes you on a journey through the past, exploring childhood adventures and cherished memories of a beloved late mother.

This week is all about nostalgia, following the announcement of the millennial throwback A Perfect Day and now the arrival of Dordogne, a nostalgic French watercolour narrative adventure. Offering stunning visuals and a touching story, Dordogne invites you to experience the vibrant French countryside.

In Dordogne, you play as young Mimi during a summer, while her adult self reflects on past times spent with her late grandmother. The game weaves a bittersweet tale, balanced by the exquisite hand-painted watercolour backgrounds that capture the beauty of the French countryside.

Uncover precious childhood memories and long-lost family secrets as you collect mementos to create a personalized in-game journal. Dordogne presents a heartwarming narrative, offering a more positive take on nostalgia than games like A Perfect Day, focusing on the healing power of memories.

yt Bienvenue! Dordogne's painterly visuals are undoubtedly its strongest asset, immediately captivating with the feeling of a lovely summer's day. However, its time-bending narrative structure makes it difficult to fully describe. Your enjoyment of Dordogne will likely depend on your connection to the story.
