Lovely, understated game that gets better the more time you spend with it. I love its willingness to tackle complicated, very real subject matter with its silly characters. Everything's softened with humor, but it feels no less real for the ideas that are being communicated. I get why Chibi-Robo has the complicated, unfocused legacy it does as a series - it's hard to sell the game on its action or proper gameplay loop, but it also wouldn't feel complete as a pure visual novel or TV show. So much of this game and its quiet exploration feels like a reflection of the types of things you think about as a kid growing up in a suburban home. What you see, what you don't see, and what you're left thinking about in the quiet moments on your own...
