“This is amazing and relaxing puzzle game with a magnificent visual novel story, detailed pixel art, humor, and secrets.”
“The story alone makes it all worth it, in my opinion.”
“The story is whimsical, doesn't take itself too seriously; and warrants a few chuckles every now and then but nothing too outstanding as far as I've seen yet; though the writer of the game has a gorgeous grasp on creative writing; you can really picture the scenes read out to you; as they aren't drawn.”
“Having said that, I have reservations about the execution of the story.”
“The game is actually really short to beat and the replay value is close to none, even though there are slight differences in the story.”
“The problem is that it has very little bearing on the plot - at least as far as I have seen, but I haven't seen all the branches - and seems to exist primarily to gate your progress.”
