I love how the puzzles to progress are rather easy but still challenging enough you might still have to think outside of the box to try and figure out how exactly to progress. The story was really nice and has a good lesson to it. Overall a really cute and wholesome game, I'm also a fan of the art. The voice acting made everything way more enjoyable as well since there is a lot of dialogue it made it easier for me to stay engrossed in the game.

A great point & click adventure game. The puzzles were solid throughout, with plenty of call backs to earlier parts of the game. The art is great, and the top down perspective worked very well for a point & click game. I was never pixel hunting for the one thing that I has missed when exploring each area. The story is also great, as it explored some very interesting themes that all came together in the end.

What a fun adventure! A lot of detail in the animations, puzzles all felt intuitive and voice acting was great too. The story also concludes in a more than satisfying way.

This is a very cute and fun adventure game. Very enjoyable and recommended. But I do have a pet peeve going on here that actually kinda made me want to not click on the "thumbs up" icon and it's about what this game isn't. It is not a point & click adventure game. It says so in the Steam tags, true, but you actually have to use your keyboard (or a controller) to control this game. There is no real pointing and no real clicking and I hate that this tag is there. If that's fine with you, then this game is brilliant. If you are looking for an actualy p&c adventure (like I was), then this will most likely annoy you.
