About the game

58 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 18 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Papetura ($11.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does Landlord of the Woods ($0.99, scores 95). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

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

Not a challenging point and click, but short and enjoyable. The art is lovely! I played through a second time on sped up dialogue for the achievements I missed, game play is probably around 1-1.5 hours. Good for younger players, players who just want to follow the story without puzzling through.

The art style is a little different, but I like the style. It also has a good story. For those new to gaming, it's fairly simple and point and click. I do recommend this game.

Super cute game! If your looking for a long and demanding game, this is not for you. This game is lighthearted, and fun for smaller kids to older adults. The art was the main star of the game and the story wasn't far behind. Officially one of my favs!
