A gem of a game. Pros: Great story. Plenty of zany, heartfelt, and dark moments all included Nice music that always complements the settings Pleasant, quality pixel art and animation Solid characters Fun puzzle platformer action, mostly of easy to moderate difficulty Cons: Dialogues can sometimes be just a little too long/wordy Cutscenes are not skippable You walk soft of slow It ends I'm looking forward to more from Studio Voyager and Iguanabee and would like to see some of these character fleshed out more in further adventures!

haven't played through it all yet but definitely worth a play if you like 2D puzzle platformers. Just finished it its pretty great not perfect but defiantly worth a play through for the story and characters. :)

Overall the game as pretty fun to play. It had a quirky style and the story for the most part helped the games overall feel. I did have some issues with the ending though. It so unsatisfying. We spend the whole story hinting and stuff and telling a story shrouded in doubt and mystery. And when it come to the end where the pieces should fit together, it just doesn't feel like it fell into place the right way. There was so much that could have been done with it that didn't happen, and that left me just completely unsatisfied with the whole thing with how it just felt slapped together.

This game was made for players who like linear visual novels and puzzle-platformers BOTH. From the reviews, some players find the game tedious if they dislike one or the other genre, especially since it is very heavy on the story/novel component. I like both up to a point, so I found this game entertaining to read and to play. The puzzles are not especially challenging, but that kept them from becoming frustrating or slowing down the story, but they do provide interactivity that is more fun than just watching an anime version. It's pretty short considering its base price, but unlike others it doesn't overstay its welcome. The story seems to leave a good bit of loose ends lying around, such as NPCs with incomplete implied backstories, and a main backstory that's partially explained and partially not. For some reason, all of the parallel worlds of the "multiverse" are post-apocalyptic and full of death, misery and horror (maybe so we'll appreciate the world we have?). I'm not sure why the main character is a child; in old-school Nintendo games that was the case because of the target audience, but this game is definitely not targeted to children. Overall, it was enjoyable, moreso than other dimension-flipping puzzle games, and I got it during a huge sale, so under that condition I can recommend it.
