I’m inflating the score because so much on display here is exactly the kind of stuff I love in my favorite video games.
It’s kind of a narrative game (or a hidden objects game). It’s sweet, albeit corny most of the time. I also thought the hidden object mechanics got tired quick, especially collecting grenkins. But wow I loved the art style, the music, the voice acting, and this community (there’s nonbinary fish folk and animal/bird people I love all of them). Most of all I loved the stories. These characters and the memories of them felt so natural and fully formed, even if we only saw bits and pieces of their lives. The themes are so touching to me, essentially being a celebration of life, friendship, community, and how we are remembered once we’ve passed.
