It's a nice short game with a beautiful touching story. I would've given it 5 stars, were it not that some items that you need are just incredible hardto pick up. I had to use a walkthrough several times, only to find out that I was searching at the right place but just couldn't pick anything there unless I kept trying over and over again. Other than it was a really nice game to play, and I hope to see more of you here in the future.

A lovely and cozy game. I love looking at the artstyle of this game so much, it's gorgeous! The puzzles are good. When they are hard, they are still answerable so it doesn't become frustating. Sometimes, there was a bit of a problem where my touch didn't seem to be responsive so i needed to tap the object more than once or twice. I don't know why it happened because for the most parts they were responsive to the touch. Overall an enjoyable and wholesome experience. Thanks for creating this.

I already loving the game at the start. The puzzle really good. Its really in the common sense that you'll know it. Not like in the other puzzle games that its hard. The prologue story is so good.. and the music 10/10. but sadly. You'll need to buy the full version for the full story. šŸ˜”. Still. I recommended the game. For those who can buy the full version. Game is really impressive. Loving it. šŸ’•. The art style is good. Its like your reading a visual novel manga but instead your playing it.
