Finding Teddy is short and simple point-and-click adventure game with a surprising amount of atmosphere. The art is the right balance of cute and vaguely unnerving and the music adds to that as well.
Unfortunately, I just didn't enjoy the puzzles very much. The game's unique feature is spelling out words using musical notes to solve puzzles. My problem was that figuring out which note you're hearing in a clue was mostly guesswork at the start. Once I got the hang of it, the game was already over.

A short and simple point & click adventure with an art style that really grabbed me and had me wanting to try to make pixel art again. Moody and atmospheric and just a little creepy. The ambient music set the tone nicely, and although some of the larger creatures could be maybe a bit too boxy looking, the backgrounds really suited the style.
The puzzles aren't particularly complex, although sometimes clicking around could be a little awkward. Particularly trying to find the hidden fireflies, which could often lead to accidentally leaving the screen repeatedly, or clicking companions, who stand very close to the player.

You play as a young girl whose stuffed bear has just been stolen by a closet monster! Follow the creature into a mysterious world and get your teddy back!

Finding Teddy is done in a retro-style pixel art. It's not my favorite, but it doesn't look bad. It just leans more heavily on the simple, old-school look rather than a more crisp, detailed style. And despite being set in a kind of creepy world, it's actually quite bright and colorful.
There are some disturbing death animations though. And spiders. Lots of spiders. Big spiders.
Sound Effects + Music
The background music in Finding Teddy is fine. It didn't stand out to me as bad or as good. It's just there. The sound effects are pretty minimal, with the main one being a kind of chime when you collect and use items.
Gameplay + Controls
Finding Teddy is a classic point-and-click adventure. You move screen by screen, so just click at the edge to move to the following area. Then simply click on items to pick them up, and click where you want to use them. Clicking on the girl brings up the inventory which is a tool wheel.
The puzzles are pretty straightforward. There's no fake out items, or too many that you don't know what to do with. You'll usually have just one item and it's to be used wherever you seem to be stuck. There are a couple of other more involved puzzles, but nothing crazy. The only ones I never would have gotten without a guide were the music note ones, since I don't have the best ear for following notes. There are ones that showed the "notes" so I was able to figure it out myself.
The controls are kind of finicky, despite just needing to click. Sometimes it's hard to select one of your companions, or on an object depending on which side of the screen you're on. I also had trouble entering areas, and had to click a million times all over the place to get the right spot.
Replayability
You can probably finish Finding Teddy in an hour if you don't get stuck, so it's definitely not a hard game to replay. But for me, point-and-clicks are one-and-done since there's one solution and no exploration. My version didn't have achievements, so i don't even have that as a motivation.
Overall
I quite enjoyed Finding Teddy. It was that odd balance of cute and creepy which I adore. The gameplay was straightforward, and I liked the wordless story. I just wish the controls had a bit more polish.

This was a decent point and click adventure game. It had one pretty interesting puzzle/realization in it, but beyond that, it was just a short, fun game. Not very standout, but fun enough.
A competent but mostly forgettable point and click adventure.
