What players say
Beautiful, simple, and relaxing. There were some bugs/crashing, but as long as you save often, it's nothing game breaking. Took me about 10 hours to complete all the quests with me taking my time. Don't forget to try the teas!! One in particular will make travel much faster (unfortunately I didn't realize until the end of the game)
I love this game. I started this game about half a year ago and played for 30minutes and then quit (partly due to the game looking really bad on my old gpu). But I gave it a try again and started a new save and got so addicted that I finished it in two days and even did a speedrun to get the last missing achievement. It is fun to explore and there are many cool quests. My favourite being the detective and midnight...
Easy going game to relax and learn / relearn modern game controller for me at least. Very good graphics for an Indie type game. Some puzzles needed consultation of walkthroughs or hints available via Steam.
