What an amazing experience. For some reason, despite being on steam for over a decade and playing hundreds of games, I've never left a review. But I couldn't leave this without reviewing it, so this'll be the first of (hopefully) many. This is a truly special game. The music is beautiful, the characters are relatable and charming, the traversal system is extremely satisfying, the graphics fit the atmosphere perfectly, and it is one of the most wholesome stories I have ever experienced. This is absolutely a must play. Completed it in one sitting, and managed to get all achievements. Now I'm sad that it is over. 10/10.

Initially, I have heard only raving good things about this game. The Youtubers that I watch and my friends have all recommended this game. And they were right! This is an absolutely memorable and charming game. I loved every second of it during my playthrough, and did not want the experience to end like many games tend to make me feel these days! The calming music, the writing of the characters' dialogues that feel so natural, I really resonated with this game's humor as it had made me laugh a couple of times (very rare). Combined with the fluid platforming exploration gameplay, this has resulted in an excellent execution of an otherwise simple story. I fully believe that it was the world around you that makes the game so charming. Furthermore, the music and the ambience. God, the music, it is so good. When the ending music started playing, I couldn't help but shedding some happy tears. I highly recommend this game, it's a bite-sized experience that have resonated with me. It reminded me of a simpler time when I was just a kid with no responsibilities and enjoy with what I have. Additionally, this game also really reminded me another one of my favorite cozy exploration game, Lil' Gator Game! I even found a gator character that looks really similar to Lil' Gator. So cute!

I recommend this to anyone and everyone I meet. There's no reason not to try it. It's criminally cheap and takes an afternoon to play. My favourite game and lives rent free in my mind. I originally played on switch but bought it again to get all the steam achievements.

The equivalent of someone telling you to go for a walk to mentally unwind, but doing it by playing a video game instead
