This is a short, sweet game, full of feels and heart. Nothing's too challenging (though there's one puzzle room that might be tough for folks with sensitive eyes), but this game isn't about how hard the puzzles are, it's about living the story and letting it sit in your head for a week and finding yourself having feels about METRICS! a few days later. I'm so glad I got to play it, and I'm glad it's here for others to experience!

🌸 A Bittersweet Adventure | 100% Review 🌸 One of my main reasons for picking up this game was seeing that it was made by Laura Shigihara. I’ve been a fan of hers ever since Plants vs. Zombies, where she composed that unforgettable soundtrack. From the moment I launched the game, The story immediately intrigued me, skillfully introducing its characters and setting up the darker twist to come. I mean who can forget this guy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3378682510 Throughout the journey, I found myself shedding a tear more than once—the writing is absolutely phenomenal. Whilst, the story can be a bit sad it remains lighthearted and more fun than other games like To The Moon or even Rakuen (from what Laura has said herself). I strongly recommend this and to add to the joy the completion aspect was not just finish the story, you have to go out of your way to do some achievements which is a bonus for me in these types of games.

Genuinely uplifting and life affirming. A beautiful story full of quirkiness and excellent humour. Truly touching and heart breaking also, as someone who has suffered severe depression for many years this actually managed to break through my emotional barrier and make me feel something for the characters and feel hopeful. I cannot recommend this enough for its beautiful art and music, its wonderful story and emotional weight. An actual masterpiece. It's also very silly in all the right ways!
