The music pairs wonderfully with the art style, which pleasantly surprised me when I realized it was all hand painted and created.

37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sure, it’s got lovely hand-drawn art and a charming soundtrack, but beyond that, it’s a very short point-and-click-style adventure with puzzles that often feel more random than logical.

While exploration is a must in order to solve each puzzle, it's also rewarding as each level unlocks a secret.

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles vary in difficulty, with some definitely on the trickier side, though I did really appreciate the creativity needed for the solutions.
