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

Dordogne, a captivating painterly adventure, is now available on the iOS App Store. This touching journey through time allows you to explore your childhood memories and reconnect with the spirit of your late mother.

This week seems to be all about nostalgia, following the recent announcement of the millennial throwback game, A Perfect Day, and now the arrival of Dordogne. This charming French watercolour narrative adventure offers stunning visuals and a deeply heartfelt story. But what exactly awaits you?

In Dordogne, you play as Mimi, a young girl experiencing a summer adventure, as her adult self reflects on the past and her cherished time with her grandmother. The narrative, while tinged with melancholy, is beautifully balanced by the vibrant hand-painted watercolour backgrounds, evoking the picturesque French countryside.

Uncover precious childhood memories and long-lost family secrets as you collect mementos to create a personalized journal chronicling your in-game experiences. Dordogne offers a heartwarming narrative, presenting a more positive perspective on nostalgia than some other titles like A Perfect Day, focusing on the healing power of cherished memories.

Bienvenue!

Dordogne’s painterly visuals are undeniably its strongest asset, a key feature highlighted in our initial coverage. The game masterfully evokes the feeling of a beautiful summer day. However, its unique, time-bending narrative structure makes it challenging to fully describe. Your enjoyment of Dordogne will likely depend on your personal connection to the overall story.
