A cute little piece. You can tell that the devs wore their hearts on their sleeves this one, really drawing from their inspirations, such as Ghibli and Amélie. It's a quaint puzzle game with a lot of good art and simple yet touching animations.
The biggest struggle with a game like this is that there's just not a lot to it. It's a simple, straightforward narrative, with some very simple puzzling elements. A few of the puzzles are finnicky, but are pretty straightforward and easy to solve. The plot itself is also very straightforward, and you'll probably realize what happened by chapter 2. This can make the game feel a little slow and plodding; it's as if the writers revealed their hand too early, and maintaining an air of mystery would be more interesting.
But for what it is, this is fine. It's a nice, wholesome, cozy game, and it'll pluck a heartstring or two on its way. Definitely a pleasant experience, but there's also not much else to say beyond that.
