This is a really cute and well done game, relaxing but at the same time "tragic". A great story with a beautiful art style and an impressive soundtrack too

This game just wasn't for me I tried to enjoy it but i just can't seem to do it the artstyle was ok didn't really impress me, soundtrack was ok the puzzles were ok nothing really to interesting

This game made my cry. As a parent it really pulled at a few things in me. It also opened my eyes to a lot of the struggles that immigrant families have that I haven’t never experienced. This is a short 1.5 hour game I recommend everyone to check out.

A precious little visual novel with a pleasant art style and a fun cooking minigame that shows the struggles of migrants and emphasizes the value of nurturing your roots.

Loved the story
Wish it was longer

the story was so moving, the gameplay was really enjoyable, and everything was beautiful. and i learned some things about tamil cooking :') the text scenes were some of my favourites. i only wish the game and story were longer!
