Beautiful game with enjoyable and satisfying gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and individualistic, interesting characters that make you excited to find out who you're going to meet next. Unfortunately I think I encountered a few bugs that stopped the ending feeling as emotional as it could be, as I was unable to finish Buck, Jackie and Moth Girl's quests. It just irked my inner completionist as I ultimately had to complete the main storyline without them. Some characters felt they had more put into them than others, but I think that's sometimes to be expected with a large cast. Without those little things stalling some of my enjoyment, this would have probably been 5 stars, but otherwise an absolutely heartfelt, wonderous game that feels like an experience, not just an entertainment media.
Was expecting a little more from this game, but overall still a charming and enjoyable experience for a relaxing afternoon playing. I had some tiiiiiny nitpicks that I think would have just made the game overall "better" (like changing the font to look less like it was made on Movie Maker), but considering I'm pretty sure this was just a small game from a small group of people, I shouldn't be hyper-critical. It was a cute and tranquil experience and it was fun going through and seeing all the incorporation of Chinese folklore and its simple but rich and beautiful world. Ending was a bit blunt and I wish I didn't have to play through the first half again just to get the final achievement you can't get by just playing through as it's wholly linear experience isn't super engaging for a second reply, but I'm a completionist so lets go.
