60 of 70 · most liked firstMY RATING: ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ 3 / 10 Loverowind is a “Poetic" Walking Sim by Tonguç Bodur, which is known for its inexpensive and often visually appealing games. Compared to many of his other games, this one didn't really convince me. The game starts in a corridor in a building that looks like a castle. These corridors and the building itself seem empty, quite lifeless and somehow very simple and ugly. At that moment I was already unsure why the whole building, with nothing to see…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After Pluviophile and Chionophile we have now arrived to Loverowind. I'm not entirely sure about the title this time - I thought with the emphasis being on wind the upcoming title in the series would be called Ventusphile. In any case, it is a walking sim and in Tonguc Bodur fashion emphasis is on tranquility aided by appropriate (relaxing) soundtrack. It shouldn't take longer than 30 mins to fully complete the game with all achievements included. Running was introduced previously to give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a game that costs little and maybe that's the only positive thing there is. 2 areas: The house, really ugly graphically and devoid of details The external area, varies in 2 colors, poor and there is nothing to observe. Buying this game does not affect the statistics of the "completed games" of steam. Would I recommend it? Mmm no. 5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected more going into this asset flip and all I got is the most tedious plain-looking walking simulator. Don't get me wrong, this developer made quite a few interesting titles but this one ain't it chief. The map is emptier than my soul and gameplay just about as exciting as watching the paint dry. Hell, I couldn't even take any decent screenshots because the game looks like a giant poopoo. Also thanks for ruining my day with the cringe quotes. It feels more like a ripoff to charge the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction: Behold here a game that has no appeal beyond the short time it takes to 100% the 7 achievements. It is fighting to be among the most boring walking simulators made – and would be, were it not for the fact it is mercifully short. With a non-existent story, unimpressive visuals, a mediocre soundtrack and totally uninspired gameplay, Loverowind does nothing to capture the atmosphere of spring. Go outside instead. The graphics are lovely this time of year. Visuals: Loverowind seemed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this game you are the wind. Do you know what it's like to be the wind? Try this! Beautiful graphics and minor ambiguities pt. "where should I go now and what should I do now?" It's a good game and based on an interesting idea, but there are no revelations in it. Generally recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played quite a few games by Tonguc Bodur and they are very enjoyable meditative walking sims - some with a story (Nephise, Bottle Pilgrim, Dead Tree of Ranchiuna, etc.) and others with poetry (Pluviophile, Chionophile). Many of his games have additional mechanics built in (minor platforming, driving, collecting orbs, etc.) which add to the experience. Loverowind is a short walking sim in a large valley with a few things to find (flowers, stanzas of poetry, hidden quotes). In a departure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please keep in mind that while I recommend it, it's only because it's priced so cheap, and you may enjoy it. But for me, I didn't. Even if it was for free, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. I normally LOVE games like these. Journey, Flower, Shape of the World. But this just wasn't that great of an experience for me. It wasn't fun to play, as flying around felt weak. It wasn't relaxing because of the light beams you have to be cautious of, unless you were fine with being stopped to a halt and CRAWL…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EZ achievements
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short simple walking simulator where you are wind. Use orbs for speed boosts as you speed through a couple fields to a few points of interest as Clouds spin above looking like a tornado could touch down at any minute. Easy 100% achievements, short and relaxing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positive _Relaxing _Beautiful atmosphere _Good graphics _Good music _Good price Negative _This game is not challenging; it is more to relax. _Music could have been better. I do recommend this game if you are a player looking for a game to relax and to complete achievements. 8.5/10 _
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What does that title even mean? What am I supposed to do? Why is wind stored in glowing orbs? Why are there wandering lights and why do they stop my movement? Why am I chasing a huge neon green orb across the meadow? Why is "challenge mode" ON by default and what does it do? I have so many questions and I don't really care about getting any of them answered. Rage quit because I couldn't get out of the field with the stupid lights. Apparently my very tedious progress wasn't saved, so I'm not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic experience, but too short. I wouldn't call this experience a game even though you interact and move around, however there are no real story or complex game play included. Would recommend people to try anyways.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Short Following on from a string of "showcase" atmospheric walking sims, Loverowind builds slightly, towards The Promise Tree of Aden, by adding different small puzzle element to the walking sim. I still don't "get" what these are all supposed to do, there are number of them: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33016994/ by Tonguc Bodur. All short and well atmospheric. The Promise Tree has a demo, and it looks to have some actual solid back story for a change. Would not mind if someone…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming exploration game that isn’t really a walking sim. 30+ minutes to complete; enjoy exploring two areas full of flowers; there are many glowing orbs on the map and touching them will increase your movement speed and make you feel like the wind of spring. Collect glowing Crocus flowers and set them upon their pedestals to unveil a poem; collecting all of them will open the next field to explore. Finding hidden poems on the map manually is very difficult, but right clicking will mark…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recommend this game as first choice between the walking sim of this author. After playing Chionophile and Pluviophile (his best one, imho), I can say I didn't feel here the same immersion the previous two short titles gave me. The boost given by the "light- spheres of the wind" all around are a nice touch, but the two area where one can move build a really short experience and the music too, at this time, does not "hit" your heart as previously. I would skip the "mobile phone…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tonguc, I've spent many hours walking through your many creations, I've gazed upon (and screenshotted) your environments and indulged in your many literary passions. You've poured your heart out to me and in some weird roundabout way I feel like we've become friends. Unfortunately, it is occasionally the duty of a good friend to let their buddy know when they've gone astray. Tonguc... you've gone astray. After the absurd walking/parking sim combination of Little Brother Jim, the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gorgeous, fun, and windy walking sim. Finished in 45 minutes without trying. Worth. Every. Penny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice experience of this peaceful world. I took many photos as a souvenir nice songs in this game too i like your games! keep going buddy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like the other games from this developer; A short game filled with bought assets accompanied with beautiful piano music. Bought assets do not have to be a bad thing and the dev is even crediting which assets he bought. Some of the other games were okay but this game feels like there wasn't put too much effort in it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm all for walking sims and relaxing exploration games when done right, and I've liked other games by this particular developer, but this is just painfully dull. even at its very short length, there just isn't enough here on a visual, atmospheric, or mechanical level to make trudging around looking for flowers feel like something other than a chore. Didn't finish
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I hate to say this, I found this one a bit boring. I read the reviews before buying, paid under 0.50€ and played it with the challenge mode off as I don't play this developer's games for excitement. I play these for the atmosphere and scenery, and unfortunately this one failed in that respect. Also, you need the speed boosts to get anywhere in the empty landscape, and the speed caused slight motion sickness. Not enough to prevent me from playing, but enough to give me a headache.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loverowind, created by Tonguç Bodur, is a quiet, introspective walking simulator that leans fully into atmosphere and sensation rather than traditional gameplay structure. It follows the developer’s familiar style—minimal mechanics, abstract storytelling, and a strong emphasis on mood—but this time frames the experience around themes of renewal, lightness, and fleeting beauty. It’s less a conventional game and more an interactive vignette, designed to be experienced in a single sitting and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip!Loverowind is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What you will see in first 10 minutes, then it is all what you will see in this game. Music is also very limited here. In Pluviophile (same developer and same price) you would get much more, than in this experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game sure was windy. Had goosebumps and chills while listening to the ambient.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a walking simulator where you "unlock" different poems. There is no puzzles or real gameplay. It is more poetic, atmospheric and spiritual, than story driven. Visually the art style and all the details put into the game are just stunning. I enjoyed every bit of scenery and also enjoyed "flying" around. The classical music playing through the game is really relaxing and definitely sets the tone. The sound effects are really amazing. The walking in the game is really slow, but if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very short and interesting relaxing experience, you should play it if you are looking for a simple "meditation" sesion as the atmosphere of the game totally goes on that direction, BUT I have to be honest and tell you what I've seen that you might not like: -The "CATCH IT" that appears after completing the objectives feels quite out of place. -And the distance between points can feel veeeery big. Here you have some footage of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7uFHxxkI_8
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Tonguç Bodur's stuff. I've been following him since Drizzlepath. Usually, he delivers a lovey immersive experience that delights, but not here. Loverowind is a case of missing the mark and serves as a good example that yes you can be too minimalist. There's only 3 areas to explore with a few nodes in each and a couple hidden quotes. The whole touch the orbs to become the wind thing is cool and feels great when going downhill, but bad when going up hill. There's also nothing to this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For less than a buck, there is about 20 min of game here. Good for achievement hunters and wanting a 100% completion game. I'd give it 55%, so barely a recommend, even at that low low cost. I've played worse and refunded those. BTW, 2+ hr playtime is because I went AFK and came back to it - there is no more than 20 min of game play, seriously. Sometimes I do an AFK for a meme review play time but not so with this game. My play time will never go higher than it is at the time of this review.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Walking sim with some spring wind vibes, idk
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am sorry, I try not to leave bad reviews but I just can't say this game is worth it, even on sale. There is not much to the story, first part looked like a horror, and I had to double check if it isnt. Wasn't very relaxing like Flower or Journey and overall was just boring. If you collect achievements or try to get 100% in games maybeeee you could buy it, but tbh there are more enjoyable games for this purpose. I guess the good thing about it that it is indeed short and its a walking sim…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play as the wind, and walk throughout the grass, it is relaxing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loverowind is a truly unique gaming experience. It's the only game I can think of wherein you play as the offspring of Danny DeVito and Sonic the Hedgehog (now that's a fanfic I want to believe exists) chasing after Flubber and some cheap girly poetry while alien tractor beams seek you out to paralyze you. You start off in your meth lab, then you leave and arrive in a big valley where some kind of horribly invasive daisy has taken over the entire ecosystem save for a few scarce pines. I have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a relaxing walking simulato
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So... I conviniently had an excess 71p left in my Steam account when this was released (mostly use Paypal for buying games) (exactly that amount btw, not kidding), and as you know, when a game gets released, it goes on sale for a while, and it turned out to be 71p. So basically a free game for me (gotta be honest, was happy to get rid of the money sitting there anyway) :) Short but chill game (like 25-40 minutes long, depending on how quickly you find out what to do). Nothing really else more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →aesthetically pleasing and fine for what its trying to be
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genuinely Breath-Taking This has to be my favourite of the Tonguc Bodur walking sims so far! I love everything about the scenery and the music and the art. I did it in 65 minutes but I like to explore absolutely everywhere so I'd say it would take the average person maybe 50 minutes to complete. My favourite part about this one, compared to the others I have played so far, is being able to have a speed boost so you don't have to slow walk everywhere. You can if you want, but I play all games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much like the wind, it blows.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →while i love walking simulators.. this one was the worst unfortunately. no story. pretty visuals but made my gaming pc overheat badly. long-winded. and waaaay too short. it just didnt do it for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ pretty visuals - samey environment - go-to-map-marker objectives * play [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1322170/Pluviophile/]pluviophile instead * or play [url=store.steampowered.com/app/966330/Flower/]flower
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Certainly a shorter game, as described, but man did I have a lot of fun zooming around the normally slow walking environments! Definitely enjoyed this one even if it was short.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I may like some other games from this developer, but this one was lackluster. It doesn't seem much thought was put into it. There's no real narrative beyond everything being loosely connected with wind. What really threw me was the choice of 1) font & typeface style and 2) the mouse icon. Both seemed completely out of place in this game. Also, the relevance of the orbs and the origin of different ones isn't apparent. It's a cheap game, I know, but a bit more thought could've been put into…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →30 minutes of pure boredom. No map or inventory, no ability to jump or run, no use for exploration. just walking, walking, and more walking. On the plus side, some easy achievements. You can buy the three game bundle for cheap on sale if you want to pad your achievement percentage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short Walking Simulator with some some quotes and poems in it. It's basically ~30 minutes for chasing some markers. Might have some meditative effect for some, didn't do it for me, though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice atmosphere. Just a walking simulator. Short.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got some real "i'm 14 and this is deep" and "my first unity project" vibes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this a subgenre in Walking simulators? Can we identify Walking simulators characterized by the lack of elements? Like Paint drying simulator but with feet Existence Simulator Walk around an empty field, pick up 4 flowers and unlock a poem. Thats how i would describe it. You certainly occupy a space. the art isn't connected or add up to its main focus, seemingly wasting the visual advantage it had over reading. While also not adding satisfying gameplay wasting the vast player interaction…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →crap generic asset game. annoyng crap music
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I need a game to make a little more sense than this. Running through a field trying to grab orbs and other nonsensical things just feels pointless. The world feels empty and cold, but mostly not interesting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loverowind Positives: + The "fly-like-the-wind" feature is awesome + Nice open landscapes + Good graphics + Nice music + Makes sense somehow + Good vibes and feelings Negatives: - Short - The footprint sound is annoying - Quite low FOV - No jump function Total Score: 7.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is alright. It's much like Pluviophile and Chionophile. It's also very short. The game is you mostly just going from one objective to the next in a very open field. The visuals are mostly nice, but there's little sound beyond a song or two and the sound of wind. Overall, get this game if you enjoy walking sims that are short with not much to them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I vaguely remember enjoying Pluviophile and Chiliophile from the same author, regardless of the brutally rudimentary transitions/animations and extremely simplistic design (which are both found here again), in part because you could at least sometimes admire the landscape and felt some kind of spatial progression. There is none of that here. Exterior maps are absolutely gigantic, yet completely barren, not particularly visually appealing, with some obvious tree LOD problems in one case. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this relaxing game. The music is beautiful and the location has a wonderful scenery.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another mediocre Bodur game. The quotes/ poems are okay, the music is okay. The gameplay is not my personal favourite but interesting at least. But in the other games there was a visible effort to make them look good. As stupid the gamplay and living things might have looked or moved, as stupid as the story was, the games looked quite good. Loverowind? No. The flowers, trees, everything is very low effort and copy-pasted over a large field. There is nothing to see except the same three groups…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short walking simulator. Beautiful graphic. Nice sounds. Nice atmosphere. I love Bodur's games. Easy Achievements, 100% / 35min.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Just a mix of the vast field looking for flowers and quotes with an intriguing start in some kind of old tower; it was great. I think I like these kind of games better where the reason and placement of the character is left open for your interpretation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a nice relaxing walking simulator with quotes mixed into it... thats about it really, nothing to write home about.
