Love the game and the story! Highly reccomend!
The art was amazing, especially to me who likes those kinds of styles. And the story is simple yet complete, like finishing a present box with a ribbon tie on top. The puzzles are also tricky but easy to solve as well. Definitely worth my time.
Um, why does this have no reviews? It's a short, minimalist game with cute story. I liked the chapters so much. Art style is very nice too.
Great game, beautiful graphics
The music was so beautiful it is also sad at the same time.The drawings were fantastic.The puzzles were so fun to find a little tricky but that's ok. :D
