“I've never played any video games before aside from solitaire and nonograms and was always opposed, but I'm so happy I decided to try something new. This game was so amazing through every aspect. The art was gorgeous,…”
“Discovered this gem because my fav streamer played it and it’s such a cozy comfy delightful game to play!! The puzzles are pretty easy imo and make for a very relaxing, aesthetically pleasing & satisfying experience!…”
“Despite the game's focus on collecting bones and organs, I didn't find it gory or grotesque. It's very relaxing and charming, and while simple, definitely has heart (pun intended). This is exactly the type of puzzle…”

“[h1]A small collection of simple puzzles[/h1] This one is all about neat art style, but it does not do well as a game, unfortunately.”

“Extremely easy, just click on the screen till you find every object. No challenge, no mystery, no story (that sucks you in). Beautiful art work but we already have hundreds of games like this. Could be bought on a good…”

“Loved this game. One of my favourite cozy puzzle games. Really liked the music, art style and thought the puzzles were exactly the right amount of challenge if you just want a cozy gaming experience. I expected a short…”

“Birth by Maddison Karrah, is a relatively simple point and click puzzle game, with absolutely delightful hand-drawn visual and intuitive puzzles. The story centres around you going out to collect a Varity of bones and…”
“Honestly, this game is lovely. It's a short experience, I finished it in about 2 hours, but it's indeed very cozy in an odd way that I really enjoy. I very much like the art and the music, it perfectly matches the…”
“I love the base concept, the story, but the puzzles get repetitive after a while, despite not always being intuitive. The ending is a bit underwhelming but the art is beautiful and the ambiance feels calming and…”

“This is the kind of game you brew a cup of tea for, turn off the distractions and take a deep breath for. Not because it's difficult, but because it's worth experiencing in its entirety. The art style is unique and…”
“+ Wonderful art + Use of classical music pieces provided a supreme good taste + Puzzles were very good + A little bit of physics in certain elements/puzzles, very well implemented A wonderful puzzle game with a somber…”

“Love the game! Simple and beautiful graphic. Perfect for a cozy evening in. I wish that the game is longer or if more series get release I will get it for sure!”

“The art is pretty and for how many assets are in the game it's a great amount of work. However, the gameplay itself is mind-numbing, I feel like it tries so hard to be like Rusty Lake with random ♥♥♥♥ happening because…”

“If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be "soothing." I downloaded it after seeing someone describe it as a game that will regulate your nervous system and I couldn't agree more. The gameplay is so chill and gentle and I adore the illustration style. Yes, a few of…”

— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This game is quaint, a little macabre, and genuinely emotional. I didn’t realise how much it would affect me. The themes of belonging and connection are touching, and the puzzles are just the right level of challenging. It’s also hauntingly pretty. It made me pause and reflect…”
