Sept. 2024
A nice little game telling 12 small stories of adventurous journeys, taking path between three routes, each of which will make you choose between two choices, leading to another pair of last choices until you loop back to the beginning, ready to take on another of those 12 stories. :P The stories are short and the actions simple, but sometimes you'll have to wait a bit as the characters transition from a scene to the next one, but it's not a problem unless you wanted to hurry through the game in a speedrun mindset. XD These stories are clearly meant to be experienced in a more chill way anyways. :3 Graphics are minimalistic, with a clean simple artstyle and it works for this game. There are also cool smooth animations as the stories unfold and we are being taken from one scene to another. The soundtrack is simple and calm too, comprising mostly of ukulele music with some electronic sounds here and there, and often accompanied with non-verbal singing of voices too. Many sound effects in this game are made a cappella style too, which makes for fun sounds as you interact with your environment! :D

It's like the video game equivalent of a bedtime story. Crisp visuals, whimsical music, LOVELY colors. It moves slowly but that's on purpose- more meditative than action. Only complaint is that some of the earlier parts of the game are repeated several times, and even more so if you can't figure out how to make the story branch off in a different way (ex click and hold a trigger rather than click it). Still- lovely small game.
