“♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ incredible. I really love the story line and sound design, but mostly i loved the feminism.”
“GET IT ON SALE. It's a creative little puzzle game with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful soundtrack, but given it's short length (my play time is half of what it says, I left it on pause for a while), gameplay only…”
“A charming puzzle game. The music perfectly accompanies the game's feel and makes for a light, smooth playthrough. Not terribly challenging, but satisfying conclusions to each puzzle.”

“Cozy, fun little game. Puzzles aren't too hard, assisting with the coziness of the game. I enjoyed the story and the game overall, but the price is far too high for how small the game is, even with it being on sale.”
