Dordogne sees Mimi returning to the home of her deceased grandmother, finding letters and puzzles that will bring her back to a warm, treasured childhood.
Mimi, at thirty-two, finds herself back at her grandmother’s home, a place where she’d spent many lovely Summers. While helping clear up her grandmother’s old home, she finds several souvenirs from the time she’d spent with her grandmother. These draw her memory back to those long-lost days, bringing you along with them as you play as Mimi both past and present.
Each found souvenir will bring Mimi back to her childhood, letting you wander the fields and forests she explored as a child. While here, you can solve puzzles and help people with various activities, all of which will affect the present. You can also snap pictures and collect sounds/objects to fill up Mimi’s journal, enriching her memories and expanding the story you’re sharing in. Through these, you will be both sharing in Mimi’s recollections as well as shaping her memories, maybe bringing your own recollections to the story as well.
Dordogne looks stunning in its watercolor loveliness, but I’m most intrigued by this shared storytelling and memory that the game offers you. Being able to bring your own creativity to Mimi’s journal looks to call back many of my own treasured memories with my grandmother, creating a touching mirrored look back to my own Summers spent with someone I dearly miss.
Dordogne is currently slated for release in 2021, but in the meantime, you can add it to your Steam Wishlist.
