When I started this, I was in the mood for some light-hearted, fun adventure, but what I got instead was something much, much deeper with very serious, even dark themes, and a tearjerker, coming-of-age plot – and I don’t mind it one bit. The 2D, pixel-art graphics reminded me of all the old point ‘n’ click games I played as a kid, so the nostalgia factor was definitely strong here, that’s already a huge plus for me. The characters were fun, the puzzles were OK (not that crazy difficult for adventure veterans, though), but the QTE battles felt a bit out of place, at least as far as I’m concerned. There are even a few optional objectives, and all in all, you can spend around 10 hours, maybe more, with the whole thing, which is quite a long playtime for this genre if you ask me. But not too long – just the right amount. Oh, and I got really interested in Indonesian cuisine now, thanks to all the tasty food they talk about! :D

Due to depictions of anxiety, depression, and suicide, I can’t recommend this to everyone, but if you’re old enough and OK with such content, give it a try (of course, don’t expect anything very realistic or gory). And be sure to have a few tissues at hand!
