A really moving point-and-click/VN hybrid that manages to leave a strong emotional impact without doing a whole lot. The intro can be on the rough side given a lack of direction and how frustrating it can be to teach Josette how to fuckin' wash her hands, but I think that lends itself to its message. The character interactions she has with the other islanders more than make up for the initial barrier, and its environmental themes tie-in well with its Ghibli-esque influence.

The 3D sections just flat out suck tho. They're all abominably bad, run at like 10fps, and are massive pace-breakers. Use a guide to get through em, I really don't blame you one bit for it.
