It nails the charming and chill vibes right from the start. It’s inviting and kind.

I really liked the storytelling, which is mostly implied or deducted with the hints provided by the stuff that you have to unpack on each house move.

Mechanically however, it was not easy to stay engaged after a handful of chapters. There’s no new gameplay aspects introduced later on or anything, so it feels repetitive after a few chapters and all the way to the end. And halfway through this it became tedious to have to organise some parts of the house that just weren’t fun for me. This led me to play it less frequently until I stopped playing it for months. Only today I felt like going back to it and finished it.

Overall it’s a well-polished and cutely designed experience that I’m glad I had, but it became repetitive and tedious after a while and was carried by the wonderful pixel art and chilled atmosphere of it all.
