What players say
This was a lovely short game. The puzzles posed just enough challenge without feeling frustrating, the music was absolutely lovely, and the story was well written. Do note, it's a fairly sad game at the end of the day - a hopeful kind of sad, but certainly still sad.

A great mix of cute and creepy, the characters are all adorable and yet the setting manages to keep everything feeling unsettling! I was immediately sucked in by the mystery and then immersed by how incredible everything else was! The pixel art is very good and extremely pretty! The puzzles were enjoyable and fun to solve. I also love when a game has you doing nice things for others and this one had a real cozy vibe...
I would recommend If your into story, detail, emotion, and affection. The game made me cry which I will admit not many games can get me like that. But this one hit really close to home, I have a little sister and sure we aren't as close to the characters in the game. But the love and affection is there... I just couldn't imagine passing away and leaving my loved ones behind. 10/10 in my book <3
