Press reviews: “Overall, Mai: Child of Ages is a stunning indie game that captivated me from the first moment I saw it. Playing as Mai, navigating a fractured, hand-crafted world feels like a warm, Metroidvania-like embrace.” 9/10 – Thaplays “What captivates me right away is the deeply personal nature of the quest. Mai is searching for her identity. She evolves before our eyes, moving from childhood to adolescence, and her powers—just like the gameplay mechanics—grow along with her.” 17.5/20 – geek-o-polis “An exceptional blend of narrative and innovation, though it may intimidate less experienced gamers.” 8.5/10 – Novamind Games
