Indie Games Devel (7.5/10)

What makes Mai: Child of Ages shine is its treatment of time. The game doesn’t reduce it to a gimmick but integrates it into both narrative and mechanics, giving consistency and depth.

Gamewire (score 8/10)

Gazettely

The game positions itself at a curious intersection: Italian indie sensibility meeting the structural language of Japanese adventure design.

You can buy now for Steam and Switch!

Hello my friends!

The first reviews for Mai: Child of Ages are in and they’re all enthusiastic! We’re truly happy with how warmly the game has been received.

here the best ones we have found!

Thaplays (9/10)

Mai: Child of Ages combines gameplay elements from platformers like “Super Mario 64,” “A Hat in Time,” and the “Zelda” series, creating a perfect game. The game starts off slow, forcing you to perform simple tasks like collecting certain items around the map, which eventually leads many to give up. But if you keep playing, you'll find that beyond the great secrets in the story, the gameplay is excellent, full of collectibles, upgrades, puzzles, dungeons, and challenges.

NextPlayer (8.5/10)

Ultimately, Mai: Child of Ages is a game that succeeds in its mission. The task of creating a nuanced and thoughtful atmosphere has been accomplished.

Logic is the true driving force of the gameplay, with interesting mechanics and challenging puzzles. The combat isn't particularly in-depth, but it's fine as it is.

Geek o Polis (17.5/20)

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.

Novamind (8.5/10)

An exceptional blend of narrative and innovation, though it may intimidate less experienced gamers.

https://novamindgames.com/mai-child-of-ages/

Bezinameh (8.5/10)

ndie games have a unique way of telling stories that big-budget titles often can’t. They’re frequently more daring, more intimate, and more willing to experiment with both mechanics and narrative structure. Mai: Child of Ages, developed by Chubby Pixel, is one of those rare indie titles that doesn’t just present an engaging story — it uses time itself as both a narrative thread and a gameplay mechanic to explore themes of growth, destiny, and identity.
