The story is a charming and visually appealing kinetic visual novel that presents a sweet fairy tale narrative, enhanced by great graphics and music. However, it lacks a clear background context or narrator, leaving players to speculate on the story's origins. Despite these shortcomings, it is considered a delightful experience worth exploring, especially with an additional short story available after the credits.
“It is a sweet kinetic short story with great graphics, music, and voice acting.”
“A nice visual novel with a cute fairy tale story.”
“Great story for an indie game.”
“Unfortunately, there's no background story as to why the story is being told, nor any indication of by whom it is being told.”
“My imagination tells me it's two friends just hanging out on a summer evening, and that it was just a whim of one of them that the other would try to entertain her with a story.”
“Right-click changes the 'voice' from 'teller' to 'writer', which simply mutes the story, I believe?”
