The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, focusing on basic mechanics like jumping and throwing objects, which creates an enjoyable exploration experience. Players appreciate the straightforward nature of the game, where the act of throwing books and interacting with the environment leads to discovering small secrets, despite the lack of complex mechanics. Overall, the charm lies in its minimalist approach and the satisfaction derived from exploration.
“It's hard to explain what I like about a game whose gameplay mostly boils down to throwing books and exploring a map, but maybe it's the simplicity that really makes me enjoy it.”
“There's no game mechanics so to speak, just a stage filled with smiling faces and small secrets, and exploring it feels nice.”
“The mechanics are simple: space to jump, left click to throw, right click to open doors.”
“That aside, the gameplay is simple; you throw books and mail at whatever you want.”
“Some things disappear when you lob stuff at them, and you'd imagine there is a purpose behind this (specifically the things disappearing, not the throwing mechanic).”
