  • story
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is generally described as cute and engaging, though it suffers from being overly short and underdeveloped, often feeling like a small incident rather than a fully fleshed-out narrative. While some players appreciate the charming characters and art style, many express disappointment over the lack of depth and replay value, with key plot elements left unexplained. Overall, the game is seen as a brief, bittersweet experience that hints at a larger story yet to be told, leaving players wanting more.

    • “The mysteries that the story presents drive you to want to find out more.”
    • “Overall, this was a very enjoyable point and click game with great art and story.”
    • “Not much replay value since there are no decisions to make story-wise and the puzzles have the same solutions.”
    • “This is more of a storytelling experience; however, the story is very short, more like one small incident during the main character's life - saving a boy that she passed by.”
    • “The story is very short and the real plot is not revealed until about 60 minutes into the game, which is at about half of the playtime.”

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and fittingness to the various settings, with many reviewers highlighting the lovely soundtrack as a standout feature.

  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and intuitive point-and-click mechanics, primarily controlled with the mouse. However, some players find it lacking in depth and feel that the game is too short, with the gameplay not fully matching the quality of the soundtrack. Overall, while the game allows for quick immersion into the story, it may leave players wanting more complexity.

    • “The gameplay is really simple and you enter into the story directly (no long introduction like some games).”
    • “The soundtrack is really good; at some points, almost too good for the bare-bones nature of the gameplay.”
    • “The point and click mechanics, however, are disappointing.”
    • “I don't have much to say about the gameplay, but the main issue relates back to the fact that the game is too short.”
    • “The gameplay is very simple and intuitive, controlled entirely with the mouse and left mouse button.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting consistently poor performance across various systems, including high-end configurations. Despite being a point-and-click game, the framerate is unstable, and adjustments to settings do not improve performance, likely due to its reliance on Adobe Air technology.

    • “Performance is abysmal for this game (running on i5-2500k, GTX 980, 16 GB RAM), but still playable (it is a point-and-click game after all).”
    • “As it is built off of Adobe Air, this level of performance is no surprise if you've used the older League of Legends client (or played some Flash games).”
    • “Framerate wildly varies; changing the game speed or effects settings had no effect on the performance.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has a notable stability issue, with a bug that causes it to freeze at a certain point, requiring players to use the "skip" button as a workaround. While this issue is not game-breaking, it does impact the overall experience.

    • “There is a bug that freezes the game at one point; you need to press 'skip' to work around it, so it wasn't game-breaking for me.”
    • “There is still a bug in the game that freezes it, and the only way to proceed is to press the 'skip' button.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has limited replayability due to a lack of meaningful story choices and repetitive puzzle solutions, which diminishes the incentive to play through multiple times.

    • “Not much replay value since there are no decisions to make story-wise and the puzzles have the same solutions.”
    • “The game lacks variety in gameplay, making it feel repetitive after the first playthrough.”
    • “Once you complete the game, there's little incentive to go back, as the experience remains unchanged.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is highlighted by the cute and surprisingly detailed designs of both main characters and NPCs, contributing to a visually engaging experience that enhances player connection to the game world.

    • “The character designs, including NPCs, are cute and surprisingly detailed.”
    • “The depth of character development really makes you feel connected to the story.”
    • “Each character evolves in a way that feels natural and engaging throughout the game.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly noting that the dialogue can be overly lengthy and repetitive, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The grinding in this game feels incredibly tedious.”
    • “I find the grinding mechanics to be excessively repetitive.”
    • “The amount of grinding required to progress is just overwhelming.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers note that the humor in the game falls short, particularly in the interactions between the cat and the heroine, which could have been more engaging and entertaining, especially at the start. This lack of comedic potential is seen as a missed opportunity that detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Many users feel that the emotional moments in the game are undermined by awkward delivery, resulting in a lack of impact and connection.
