The game features a charming and nostalgic point-and-click adventure style, reminiscent of classic 2000s games, with lovely graphics and a thoughtfully crafted story that resonates with players of all ages.
The morality system adds depth to the gameplay, allowing players to influence the character's transformation based on their actions, and the puzzles are generally logical and rewarding without being overly frustrating.
The developer's passion and dedication are evident, as the game is largely a one-person project, showcasing a unique artistic vision and a willingness to listen to community feedback.

The game ends on a cliffhanger and is only the first chapter of a larger story, which may leave players feeling unsatisfied if they expect a complete narrative experience.
While the morality system is intriguing, it often forces players into specific actions, limiting their ability to shape the character's growth and making the experience feel more passive than active.
The voice acting, primarily done by the developer's friends and family, lacks professional quality and can come off as monotonous, which may detract from the overall immersion for some players.
