It has excellent "small French village" vibes, an exceedingly pleasant soundtrack, pretty visuals and lots of excessively cute mouse animations.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is not especially long (i finished it with all the collectibles in 7 hours, including probably 30-45 minutes of AFK time mixed in), but that seems appropriate since it has family-friendly presentation and low-stakes difficulty, making it achievable for younger players.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I loved it from start to finish on my Steam Deck and have nothing to say other than you should play it.
