This game is brimming with atmosphere, looks quite beautiful and the puzzles are quite clever! I had a good time just wandering around, finding new items, discovering secrets left and right. The atmosphere is both unnerving and relaxing in equal measure, and the encounters with the titular animals are all quite interesting, even if they're brief. It's very well made, has an identity all its own, it's a good time... but I admittedly don't get where all the high praise this game got came from. As I said, it's a good time, plenty of secrets and mystery, but nothing particularly that stuck with me or really made me go 'wow'. It's not that long and fairly priced, so definitely give it a go.

It’s pretty nice, nicer than the base ACNH game for me since there’s an actual goal the game seems built around, but I guess due to my lack of fondness for the villagers and their lack of personality besides… being cute, I didn’t feel compelled to keep playing for long. Small limitations also got on my nerves rather quickly and made the immersion kind of shatter early on (If I put two chairs side to side, it really shouldn’t be impossible for my character to go from one to the other, it feels so cramped) so though I think this is super well made and I had my bit of fun, don’t think I’ll be returning to this one. Still, I could get behind an entire game based around this concept with a bit more to it.
