I love it ♥ Bright-full, simple puzzles, simple story. You can dress up main character - first time I see this haha, nice lil touch! Good voice over, feels like characters talking and reacting to the environment and what other character said. Very much looking for the second part! It's fine that it's short, you gotta test the waters if it will do well on the market after all. 💔 Some combination of the notes is weird and unintuitive, got me stuck more than any puzzle. 💔 Not always clear what game wants you to do or what puzzle to solve. The more I played it the more it grew on me ♥

I enjoyed this game a lot. It’s fun, modern, and has a great sense of humour. The visual design and experience are well-crafted. I didn’t miss the story because of the puzzles—they have just the right level of challenge to keep you thinking and moving forward. They require visual memory and help create meaningful connections.

Very good game. Design, characters and story everything was great! It's not a 2 hours game but i would have liked it to be longer. They had everything on point it would have been perfect!

Sept. 2024

It's a decent point and clicker. Nicely drawn art, good voice-overs. Music nothing special but not bad. Story is not very engaging or emotional, but has a few nice spots. Overall story and ending was quite meh. Could have built on the family relations a bit more. Still, it is not too long a game to get overly boring, and provides a bit of point and click fun if you like that kind of stuff. Recommend to take a walkthrough next to it, helps get past the more frustrating puzzles that these games always come with. A bit of trial and error, then the walkthrough.. Remember to double-click to reach certain exits faster. Helps with the frustration of slow walking often. Seems to be on a good sale often, perhaps get it on one of those. If looking for a relatively short, ok, but not great, point and clicker. Recommendation is a bit in between but there is no such choice..

This game has some puzzles that aren't very logical (I did a little bit of trial and error a few times) and there are also some plot holes or perhaps an intentional cliffhanger (I don't know which one of these two is true), but other than that, I enjoyed playing this game. It has an interesting storyline, some funny dialogues, a small variety of solutions and choices, and many nice puzzles. Good job, developers. Till next time, don't forget to point & click!
