Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly love this short, free point-and-click for its art, music and charm; the main complaint is fiddly mini-games.

Many players praise the visuals: hand-painted 2D backgrounds mixed with cute 3D characters, a quirky cast, and a soundtrack several reviewers call outstanding. Players enjoy the puzzles, which are mostly intuitive and rarely frustrating, and the hint button and map help when stuck. Under the cute surface, a dark, morbid tone and a melancholy story about friendship and death leave a lasting impression. The recurring complaint is the mini-games: fishing and the rhythm game are described as finicky, with tight timing and unforgiving hitboxes. Some players also wish the game were longer, since it takes one to three hours. Recent reviews are as positive as the older helpful ones and raise the same points, with the mini-games still the main criticism.
