while it's beautifully animated with lovely music, and clearly so much heart, that's mostly what i enjoyed!
the first half felt simple and repetitive enough to be a children's game - there's nothing wrong with that necessarily, it's just not what i thought i was getting myself into. the second half is similar but a bit darker with escape room elements. i liked the tone shift though!
however, when the dlc glitched and refused multiple times to let me keep playing, i just... stopped playing.
while it was worthwhile for the studio ghibli-esque vibes, and if it's on a good sale it's worth checking out for the pretty animation and atmosphere alone, it didn't ever fully hold my attention in the short hour and a half i played through.
