Cute animations. Puzzles are hard but there's enough walkthroughs out there to help you.
This was a fun game that I enjoyed playing.
The writing and dialogue is really good!
Thoroughly captivating game by someone who plainly enjoyed making it. I sure enjoyed playing it, didn't want it to end.
I know plenty of people that don't normally play/enjoy/appreciate video games, but they would enjoy this.
Retrying without saving was excellent. I did wish the finale had been stretched some.
One of my favorite AGS games. You can't beat its atmosphere (great mix of melancholy and humor) and fun puzzles. However, the ending was way too abrupt - even one new additional background screen would help immensely to reward the player.
