Recall the Scents, the Sounds, and the Sensations of Summer
I was instantly captivated when I saw the hand-painted watercolor art style of developers UN JE NE SAIS QUOI for the first time. Now we have an official announcement from the small indie team from France with a new trailer for their upcoming narrative adventure game Dordogne.
In Dordogne you play as Mimi a 32-year-old woman looking back at her childhood memories of summers spent at her grandmother’s house. With that, there will be puzzles to solve and beautiful landscapes to explore. Moreover, forest walks, climbing, kayaking, and cave explorations are some of the activities you can enjoy while a peaceful soundtrack is playing along.
Filling Mimi’s journal is the focus of the game so you’ll have to collect photos, sounds, objects and words. Each playthrough is unique because you’ll get to choose how you fill those journal pages so as to reflect your personal experience.
Coming to Switch and PC in 2023
Dorgogne, published by Focus Entertainment, will be releasing sometime in 2023 on the Nintendo eShop and PC. You can Wishlist the game on Steam here.

In Mr. Tic Toc & the Endless City, you play as an antiquarian whose suitcase is actually a time-travelling device. Solving problems by travelling through time and time-crafting, you will get to change the shape of the island and meet different characters from prehistoric times all the way to the 3000s. You can play this beautifully hand-painted watercolor and 3D game on PC, and other platforms (TBD), sometime in 2019.
“What if planting a tree could turn your life upside down, would you do it?” Mr. Tic Toc’s goal is to go home with his family by solving puzzles across time. Thanks to his time-traveling briefcase, that’s as mysterious as Mary Poppins’ as it can also hold many large objects, Mr. Tic Toc will be able to voyage as he pleases across time! For example, he can travel to different times throughout history such as Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the nineteenth century, and the twenty-first century. Set out to recover a rare artifact to become the most famous antiquarian. However, be aware that every action has a consequence.
Mr. Tic Toc & the Endless City is in development by Un Je Ne Sais Quoi, a studio based in France. They describe this game as a ‘time-wrecking adventure’ on Twitter here, which you can follow for more information and illustrations. You can also purchase their lovely artwork on their official website here. If you like the visual design of this game, check out Guinea Pig Parkour here! It’s a hand-drawn 2D adventure game with bright colors.
