I don't think this game is as bad as some people make it look, but it's not great either. It has some fun locations and events, but navigating through the game is unnecessarily annoying.
I'll try to explain. There are 12h of in-game time, each hour you must choose one of the many locations of the game to travel or keep in the location you are currently at. Some events will immediately end the hour, or the hour can simply end by taking too much time exploring. It's nowhere as bad as something like Mizzurna Falls and you can save at the start of every hour and even go back in time while keeping items so getting the good ending shouldn't be hard at all, however the system gets annoying very fast, finding out where you need to be at the right time is pure trial and error and since everything is timed, you never feel fully comfortable to explore.
It's worth to play once if you are into weird 90s point & click, but if you want to see everything that the game has to offer you will need A LOT of patience.

I really wish I liked this game. I love Devo, I love inScape's other games, but it's so frustrating. The timer is way too aggressive, leading to you constantly restarting the game, and the puzzles aren't interesting either. There's some fun world design and the music is great of course but that's about it.

When I was in kindergarten, our computer lab instructor never actually taught us anything. Instead, she just let us play Kid Pix all day. One day, she disappeared and was replaced by someone else. Years later, I found out that she got arrested for embezzling money from the school. Anyways, Kid Pix is great.

wasn't as into this one. dips a bit too far into being a creative tool for designing towns rather than a game where you live in one. There's not quite enough resistance between yourself and the world to make accomplishing your goals as satisfying as it was in New Leaf. I was excited for this, especially by all of the freedom the game seemed primed to give me, but I ended up being disappointed by how easily it all came
