"was it a good thing that i was born?", "of course! someone needed you the moment u were born."
I think this is a pretty good puzzle platformer, held up by a pretty good main character. I'm going to try to be as spoiler free as I can but if you've dipped into the reviews you probably know what this is about, but it's enjoyable regardless of if you know. I also think the character will generally relate to a lot of people because she is very well rounded. I think this game deals with a lot of pretty difficult...
yeah, it's pretty fun. where the heck did you hide all those donuts, how did you even hide them? also the freakin texting emotes things are all so goofy lol
