Cute game, obviously still in development but honestly i would have paid a couple bucks for it (even more). The gameplay loop was really entertaining and addicting, the puzzle/strategy mix was interesting, and the atmosphere was there. The start became repetitive after a couple runs, but i guess different characters help a bit. Definitely worth a try since it's free, it's really well executed
I had like 40 hours on this thing.. and it doesn't even have a proper page on here, so i guess it must have been a very good game. I remember the toys that came along with it at the newspaper shops lol. I also remember that there was a sort of skill-tree and that it was awful, i couldn't unlock flying until 2/3s of the game

I'm by no means old: in unpacking terms, i only moved once in my life, at the start of 2020. However, i still found this game fascinating, i knew i would. In that 2020 move, i put a massive amount of effort in organizing my room and personal library, and i still do every year.
In gameplay terms, i found it very calming, and in this period of my life, very reassuring that i still have time, "many more unpackings" to do. In terms of gameplay, it also tells a story. And it's a very cool thing to do, as, while i am still inexperienced, this game, with less than 10 lines of written text, tells a whole life through the objects that the protagonist decides to carry with her. I still have the chills from the "boyfriend house", where i basically had no space to put my stuff, the anguish from having to move back with your parents (and having to hide the photo with the ex), and the excitement of finally having your own place, decorated with all your relics.
Overall, a genuine, mindful, experience, that i will revisit for sure

To start: play this game , it's free and lasts 30 minutes.
One of the weirder titles i played, it managed to fill me with the same sensations (not emotions!) that some really good short stories. Sensations mainly of discomfort; but also of wanting to now more; but also of not wanting to. And ultimately, you cannot know more about this world, so i was left to wonder on what i just experienced, on the sensations, more than on the "lore", and i still remember this game after years, so... um, definitely give it a try!
