The aesthetic of this game is so beautiful and SO cozy — it gives me such strong “Over the Garden Wall” vibes and I adore the art style of the world, particularly that of the characters.

All in all; some great ideas; nice visuals and sound design, but somewhat poor execution of what could potentially be some fun relaxed gameplay.
