Dordogne: A Nostalgic French Watercolor Journey

by Patrick Mar 13,2025

Dordogne, a beautiful hand-painted watercolour adventure, is now available on the iOS App Store. This nostalgic journey takes you back in time to explore the cherished memories of your childhood and your late grandmother.

This week's release follows the announcement of the millennial throwback game, A Perfect Day, highlighting a trend of nostalgic gaming experiences. Dordogne offers a unique blend of gorgeous visuals and a heartfelt story. As the adult Mimi, you'll relive summer days spent with your grandmother, uncovering fond memories and long-lost family secrets. While the narrative has a melancholic undertone, the vibrant French countryside, depicted in stunning watercolour backgrounds, creates a heartwarming atmosphere.

Collect mementos throughout your adventure to build a personalized journal, documenting your journey through the past. Unlike the potentially more bittersweet nostalgia of A Perfect Day, Dordogne emphasizes the healing power of reminiscence.

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