If you're looking to have a small get away feeling, this game would really help you feel the stress and anxiety go away making you feel peaceful for a lil while...Nice Game though! Very recommended if you want to relax and want a change for a short while! P.S. You can't pet the 'puppy' unfortunately 😪
