The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

A short, cute, and easy point-and-click adventure. It's a shame it's so short since it had some potential, but I still recommend it for the adorable characters, lovely art style, voice acting, and charming hand-drawn animation, especially if that's what you're looking for.
