230 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
First of all, a fascinating and unique gameplay mechanic that was suprisingly smooth, which fits the story so well; amazing music and visual design (though it may get laggy with highest graphics); and most of all a story that is absolutely heartwarming and beautiful.

i first watched someone else play this but even though i'm already spoiled, the emotional beats still hit me when i finally tried it for myself. the art style captured a child-like wonder which fits with the main character. and god, the soundtrack. there are parts in the game when i would just have the music play while sobbing.
