What players say
A very visually charming game with a wholesome plot that befits the bleak world of today. The puzzles are engaging if not at times highly frustrating.

Incredibly charming and chill game. It will make you feel like slowing down to appreciate the scenery. My only nit-pick would be that the English translation is a little clunky at times, but never enough to stop you from solving the puzzles.
NOT a full game! This game isn't advertised anywhere as not being a full game, but it isn't! Later chapters (i.e. more than just TWO CHAPTERS) will be released as DLC that you will have to purchase! That's so disappointing, and honestly, while the game is cute, the two short chapters are NOT worth the price. It also feels really underhanded that it's not advertised anywhere that it's not the full game. So...
